I have just been on the shop section and wonder why some items you can "buy now" whilst others say "read more", for example the Joueff tipper wagon, and when you go to it you can't add it to your basket, would it be that someone else already has it in their basket?
As far as I know yes
If you do not see the option to add it to your basket it means that you have not logged in. Only members can login to the site and only logged in people can purchase ergo, only members can buy anything, but other can view, exactly as you are doing.
