whoa.. A little info needed here:
Shops charge X amount on top of what they pay wholesale. Now.. there are a LOT of parts whores out there that operate on moving a lot of parts cheap with nearly NO margin (this is who you find online) The reason for the shop markup? It is their WARRANTY on the part. If the part you bring in FAILS.. YOU (the car owner) is going to EAT the second repair. If the part the shop installs FAIL then the SHOP eats it.
Pretty simple.
This why shops don't want you to bring in your own parts, it is to protect them and to protect you.
Now.. I'll read the rest of the post
