I think what Travis means by "holding for regulars", is the practice of setting desirable guns back before being offered to the general public. This is done often.Many sellers appreciate the fact that they have a buyer with cash who will take the guns without the hassles of shipping, rejection,ect. Sometimes it is frustrating.
This past summer Cabelas advertised a nice 20g VHE that I was intersted in. I called minutes after it hit the web. The gun room manager told me I couldn't buy it yet because there regular Parker buyer was out of town and couldn't be reached.They were going to try to contact him for two more days.If they couldn't reach him I could have it. To me that was a little over the top. I told them I wanted it and would give them my credit card #,now.
After I few minutes of discussions,off line,they came back and told me that I could have it. If they were going to give him first right of refusal they should not have advertised it.
