Do the spacers separating CPU cooler from mainboard belong to the cooler or the mainboard?

I want to sell the parts of an old computer on eBay, but am unsure where the four spacing screws separating mainboard and cooler belong to. Do these screws generally come with the mainboard or with the cooler? The mainboard is an AsRock P43DE.

These come from a cooler. Motherboards have only mounting holes in location specific for the CPU platform.

Based on the package contents for the AsRock P43DE it wasn't included with your motherboard. Since I regonize the spacers in question, I know they came with the unidentified cooler, not the motherboard.
