I've no idea how I could pay you if I lost, would you take a picture post card from Lisbon with "IOU 4 Kudoz"? :-)

Antonio Tomás Lessa do Amaral May 17, 2011:
sem dúvida mas a questao e' o 'upper' que imvho quer dizer a parte superior e não acima de, ou não?
Marcos Antonio May 17, 2011:
figures IMHO. "Figures" seriam os "dígitos". Ex: US$200.000.000,00 = nine figures

Upper 6 figures doesn't start at half a mil and stops at just under 1 million.

The idea is roughly 800,000 to 900,000

neutral Antonio Tomás Lessa do Amaral : upper 6 figures OR above 6 figures?
3 mins
Olá, Antônio Tomás. IMHO, 6 figures = 6 dígitos; upper 6 figures= acima de 6 dígitos.
disagree Douglas Bissell : upper is not equal to over and 10 million is an 8-figure number

Olá Douglas. Veja "na casa/faixa acima de 6 dígitos(acima de 1 milhão), bem como a segunda correção
agree Daniel Trevisan : Creio que a idéia é especificar a uma quantidade sem muita precisão. Nesse caso a melhor tradução seria: "NA CASA DOS 6 DÍGITOS". Se o autor desejase especificar uma quantidade mais precisa, então o texto deveria usar, valores numéricos, que é o caso.

avaliada em quase 1 milhão de dólares

Obviamente, não há uma ciência exata para interpretação dessa frase. Minha tradução é baseada na seguinte interpretação:
lower six figures = próximo a 100.000
mid six figures = aprox. 500.000
upper six figures = próximo a 1 milhão
