neutral  Victor Dewsbery: Another "cryptic crossword clue" answer. Sure, it puts the meaning accurately into English words. But my worry is that nobody will understand what it means.

agree  silfilla: sell for a price that should yield between four and nine million ;-)

neutral  Stephen Sadie: sorry is inaccurate and "dispose" sounds horrible//also: how do you define "mittlerer"? We don't have the info, it may only be 3 mill.!

agree  Victor Dewsbery: Not quite so literal as the other suggestions, but at least English speakers would understand it. (The other solutions read more like a cryptic crossword clue.)

agree  Kieran McCann: I feel the German formulation is not as familiar in English. 'Proceeds' rahther than 'revenues'?
34 mins
agree  Claire Cox: much more natural in English
46 mins
neutral  CMJ_Trans (X): 10 is not a single digit number I fear!

  -> sorry if I am fascetious, but would you rather write between 5m and 9,999,999, or is 10m better suited?

  -> thanks dave
neutral  Victor Dewsbery: "mid- to high single digit million range" sounds like a clue from the Times crossword. What prize do you offer to English speakers who understand it at their first attempt? // Sorry about the hyphen. Would that make your crossword clue easier?

  -> We all wish to be as good as the Times' authors, a newspaper I hold in great esteem and for which my father (amongst other work) wrote for some 20 years. You missed my hyphen!
