Practice not being too literal # 30

Question

As my title says, I am trying to learn to not be literal in translations, so every day I will post a saying in English and ask for suggestions as to how to convey the thought in Spanish. At the end of the day, I will pick the answer that I think most accurately reflects the idea, and I will choose it as best answer for 20 points to the respondent.

Today's phrase is, "Money can't buy me love."

Good luck!

You obviously don't know the right places to go. - Eddy, Aug 1, 2012

Answer 1

" El amor no está en venta" o, menos literal, "El amor no se encuentra en las estanterías de los supermercados" (sonrisa).

Good one. - annierats, Aug 1, 2012

Answer 2

Como dije ayer; estoy dispuesta a probar esta teoría, si me dieras un millón de euros podríamos ver si es posible comprar el amor, o no.

As I said yesterday, I'm willing to try this theory out , if you would give me a million Euros, we might see if it's possible to buy love, or not.
