Countertops - Is this really how it works?

Am I missing something?

There are six stone places near us that carry Olympic Danby marble. They're saying we can select a piece but it is a fabricator/installer who sets the price of the material per sq ft. I was shocked. How can we competitively price shop if the rates are all being set through the same one entity - the fabricator/installer?

Am I understanding this correctly? We lived in a different city for our last kitchen rennovation and there we purchased the material directly and the fabricator charged us for fabrication, templating, installation.

Also, we haven't picked a fabricator/installer yet and don't even know how to start finding a good one. We are new to the city and don't live in an area where people are getting stone countertops. All the places I read about online just have fake sounding google reviews. Thoughts?
