When I get one of my plumber buddies to do something for me, I usually get them to purchase the fixtures. Because they have the inside track, that means they can either save me a bit of money, or charge me retail and have a little bit of cash for themselves.
The big thing with that though is they also have their own recourse when a fixture is defective. What you are doing is like buying a car part at Auto Value, then taking that part to a mechanic to be installed.
