[Star Wars] Why did Qui-Gon and co. not just hire someone to take them off Tattoine instead of go through the pod-race shenanigans to get the hyperdrive parts they needed?

As seen in *A New Hope* and *The Gunslinger* (*The Mandalorian*), Tatooine is a cesspool of backstabbing scum who serve the highest bidder, and their mission required an extreme low-profile. Two Jedi, a Queen and her escorts are a gigantic beacon of attention, that's why some of them stayed on the ship. Better not to trust any Tatooine resident for a long period of time and just deal with them in order to get the parts they need (keeping in mind that they weren't planning on going through the pod-racing hassle in the first place).
