I thought it's pretty black and white on the form 4473 or whatever it is. You're not supposed to buy a gun that you intend to turn around and re-sell. If you want to buy a gun with the intent of selling it then you need an FFL.
I could be wrong but that was always my understanding. I remember reading topics about asking a friend to go to a gun show and buy a gun for yourself as being (technically)illegal.
I'm sure it's done all the time and no way to really prevent or prove anything. You could claim the day after you bought it that you decided to sell it but that at the time you purchased it you intended to own it.
