Yet Another Question

[Duck Butter]

Dropped off a chainsaw to get fixed at a place in Lafayette that also sells boats. While dropping it off, I asked the person at the counter what the price of one of their 25 hp motors was, she said she couldn't tell me, I said can you give me a ballpark thinking that maybe she didn't know, but she said that by law she could not tell me the price on an outboard because she was not a licensed outboard something or another I have never heard of this, maybe everytime I have asked this question I have asked it to a licensed outboard salesperson but what gives?
