ATNTradingOffer us a deal
Established 1992

Below the radar, on purpose.

ATN is a father-and-son company trusted by some of the largest brands and retailers in North America to move excess, obsolete and sensitive inventory quietly. Full-take closeouts since 1992: volume moved fast, brand value protected, distribution kept under control.

What we do not do
  • We do not advertise.
  • We do not list your products online.
  • We do not blast deals to a mailing list.
  • We do not sell to Walmart, Target or mass retail.

Ninety per cent of our deals go to named buyers, one at a time. Ninety per cent of those buyers do not advertise either, and where a deal cannot be advertised, we restrict it. Nothing we buy can be found by searching your brand.

Why brands hand us the hard ones

Confidentiality is the product.

Total discretion

None of our deals are advertised or broadcast. Your product stays quiet, contained and off the radar, which is usually the whole reason it came to us.

Controlled distribution

We keep items offline, off Amazon and away from mass-market exposure, so your retail relationships stay intact.

Full-take specialists

We prefer to take an entire inventory. One trusted buyer instead of a patchwork of resellers picking over it, and no competing offers on your own goods.

Executive relationships

Deep, long-standing connections with ownership, top management and DMMs at major retailers across North America.

Brand-safe channels only

We do not sell to Walmart, Target or other mainstream retail, and rarely to TJX and the off-pricers. Vendor restrictions are honoured without exception.

Self-funded since day one

Started with $100,000 of our own money and have never borrowed from a bank. A large line of credit sits available for when a deal needs to close quickly.

Creative deal-making

Custom structures, flexible payment terms, and we will buy the IP or the brand outright if that is what solves the problem.

Global and strategic

Export-ready, able to repack to meet brand and retailer requirements, and a 3PL model that handles a deal of any size.

The people

A father, a son, and ten people.

Founded in 1992. Natan joined in 2008, and the original father-and-son team still runs it. Ten people move the volume companies four times the size do, because a small team that has worked together for years does not need a process to decide anything.

We look where nobody else is looking, and we will think around a problem rather than pass on it. That is most of what separates a deal that closes from one that does not.

What a good deal looks like

Larger, take-all, and quiet.

We prefer whole inventories and a minimum of roughly 300 units per item, depending on what it is worth. If you would rather your goods went to one buyer than to a dozen, that is exactly how we work.
