Here is what it sounds like to me. A plumber can obtain your faucet for you from a plumbing supply and get a discounted rate which he does not pass along to you. He would prefer to do this as he makes more money than just his hourly rate.
There is nothing wrong with anyone making money. You will pay about the same for the faucet, one way or another.
