You show up, the two in the store are all gone and then they get you to buy a much more expensive TV that may or may not be on sale at all.
I wouldn't say it's a MYTH but more of a luring gimmick...the sale is actually there, you just have to be one of the few that get lucky with ticketing or camping out. My friend decided to do the camping out thing one BF and he made out like a bandit with electronics.

I will advise that you go in with the mindset that you are not the only one who wants product xxx and make a list of what you want and where it might be located, it makes things easier.
