100% mark up on parts and sub-contracts is more than common. I would respect him for telling you he would sub it out. That's his way of telling you to shop around. It's kinda like going to get body work done at a mechanics - he would send it to a body shop also.
Your post about him ads to his credibility in my opinion.
