Welcome to our second in the “Ask Woot! Anything” series where we yank staffers from anonymity and put them in the forums with you to answer questions! Nothing is off limits! That doesn’t mean we’ll answer everything. A little bit of mystery is good in a relationship, right?
So gather up your questions. Warm up your typing hands. We’re ready for you! Well, we’ll be there anyway.

Hello, Bananasaurus here. My team runs most of the items that show up on the clearance page and bargain bin type events. Looking forward to chatting with you all.
@vtalada here. I manage the Vendor Management team at Woot. We are a team of buyers who work with our vendors to bring you the deals that you like (and sometimes do not like ). We are responsible for identifying and evaluating the deals as well as merchandising them on our site. Look forward to our conversation!!
@HollyTech here - I manage the Lawn & Garden category as well as Lighting and Automotive. Looking forward to chatting this afternoon and getting Wooty with it.
HI there! @Ajsarrett reporting to answer your burning Woot questions. I am a Vendor Manager on the Home team and buy Floorcare and Home Environment (AC’s/Fans,etc) for the site. Around the office, it’s well known that I’m the coolest person at Woot and I’m sure they would all agree that I have the largest brain in the building, that’s how I earned the nickname “Megamind”…. I work closely with all the buyers on the Home team and can answer most questions about those categories. Can’t wait to chat with all of you!
