What do you do with a million pairs of jeans that didn't sell because consumers finally have had enough of the acid-washed look? Well, you could sell them to a company that is in the business of buying closeout inventories and lose 80% of the value of your investment, or you could recoup nearly all of the value by doing business with a trading firm.

For instance, Argent Trading LLC, enables manufacturers to turn aging inventory, capital equipment and excess capacity into Asset Purchase Credits (APCs), a currency Argent supports in 16 countries. One credit equals one dollar.
