Dutch term or phrase: nee-verkoop
nee-verkoop betekent niet kunnen verkopen van een item omdat het o.o.s. is, maar ik kan geen goede term vinden in het engels. Non-sale lijkt me toch iets anders. Heeft iemand een goed idee?! Bedankt.

  -> Thanks Allison. How are you? Getting large projects lately and, yes, having to turn away customers :-)

agree  Dave Calderhead: And with turing customers away. Has the Dutch to English market gone mad during recent months, or are we imagining it?

  -> I think it will get even madder in December with many D>E translators going on holiday to the UK.

having to say "no"


Explanation:
Another option.

See the following website:

"Never having to say “no” to a customer. Subcontracting will allow you to expand your product lines without spending money on new equipment, spoiled substrate, and wasted ink, or spending a lot of late evenings and long weekends trying to print the ******ing things."
