My DH and I also get to our WM (not SC ) about 4:45am every year since it's usually our first stop. We've always gotten what we went for. Of course, we don't usually go for the big items (tv, laptop, etc), so that may make a difference. We got there at 5:15 last year and still got a GBA. This year we need 2 of the port. DVD players, so I plan to be there no later than 4:45. That's the only big(-ish) ticket item we are after. The rest is clothing, DVDs, etc. This is one time that I'm happy to live in (actually, near) a smallish town
