(I have an inquiring mind. )
"Hanger Queens" are typically aircraft that are non-mission capable (not flight worthy) and don't ever seem to make it to the flight line (and out of the hanger.)

I think Last might be suggesting that perhaps the large quantity Woot had to sell were not first runs, but potentially refurbs or returns (think returns from the HSN sale). However, they were sold as new and I think Woot would have described them as refurbs if that were the case.
