Need to buy CPU retention bracket to sell off Mobo... Buy actual brand name or 3rd party?

Hey all 

 

So I need to buy a new cpu retention bracket since i lost those pieces and I want to sell off my Mobo. BUT Asus is telling me I have to buy it since they do not provide support for them. 

 

ASUS E-store = $13 w/o ship 

 

Amazon= $3-6 prime shipping (but made by someone else) 

 

Edit: I already have a metal backplate. just need those little parts to hold down a cpu cooler. THIS IS ALL FOR AMD CPU'S

just buy ASUS so someone can easily see it will fit in their case and so you dont end up buying both

Its AMD's AM2 through AM3+ Bracket which is all the same so I believe it'll fit all AMD Motherboards.
