is sell of course but with the connotation of saturation of markets with misdoings of advertising (Lozano Irueste), regards!
I\'m afraid it\'s nothing to do with markets or advertising. It\'s simply a colloquial term meaning \"to sell\".
e.g. He flogged his record collection to buy a guitar.

Creo que, con tiempo, podríamos haber desarrollado un buen negocio para Uds. en Australia. Contamos con un equipo muy profesional que comprenden el \"brand building\" a diferencia de los que simplemente \"venden cosas\"

I was able to confirm that you are correct in your interpretation of "flog" meaning "to sell" in Australia. That is a new one for me. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. - Mike :)

como he comentado a Michael, también podría traducirse asi, saludos!
No sé hacia dónde va todo. Quizás lo próximo sea la televisión interactiva. Últimamente se ha puesto de moda el portal, y ya todo el mundo está aburrido de los portales. Todas las empresas han hecho portales. Pero van a saturar a la gente, les van a aburrir y luego les dará por otra cosa.

"cacarear"
al estar "flogging" entre comillas, me parece un equivalente adecuado

: It's between inverted commas because it's colloquial English. And it means to sell, not "brag"
