Help with Spanish

[Rocker949]

Does anyone know how to say "no soliciting" or "no solicitors" in Spanish?

[Dave W]

I 've seen Ningún Solicitar beneath No Soliciting on manufactured bilingual signs.

Thanks, I've got to do something, even if it means making my own sign.

I believe what Dave gave me was correct.  My problem is I have a huge oak tree in the front yard.  Maybe it is because the economy is so bad, but people are always coming by wanting to trim it.  The part close to the street has already been trimmed and it doesn't pose any danger to anyone.  It may need trimming some more, but frankly I don't care; I have other things to do.  One guy actually asked $400 to trim it.  It has reached the point that for the first time in my life I have completely stopped answering the door.

Maybe you should put up a second bilingual sign: "Don't even ask about the oak tree."

I might also need to put up a sign in Spanish which says that I don't want to sell my truck.  The same guy has been knocking on my door for about five days in a row now.  Today I finally couldn't stand it anymore, so I went to the door.  It was a Mexican telling me that he wanted to buy my truck.  I told him it was the only form of transportation I had and I really wasn't interested in selling it.  Still, he insisted that he knew someone who would probably want to buy it and acted like this was some kind of big favor to me.  He was a nice guy, very well-mannered, but still very persistent.  This isn't the first time this has happened with someone wanting to buy the truck, although there are far more people who are totally gung-ho about wanting to trim the oak tree for lots of money.

Hang this sign on the truck after translation:

Truck for sale: $50,000.

That's a good one.  Seriously, though, the last person who wanted to buy the truck got really angry when I didn't want to sell it.  This last one just appeared to be mildly irritated, although the irritation was certainly obvious.  I just don't understand this mentality.  It seems to me that if you wanted to buy a truck or car, it would make a lot more sense to actually try to buy it from someone who was trying to sell it in the first place.

Sorry, I missed this thread. If I'm right you need someone to cut your oak tree? I can send some Mexican relatives if you like? One of 'm needs a truck. Any ideas where to get one?

Send them all to Mark's house - he was lamenting in another thread about having to trim his own bush.

Now that's below the belt...
