I remodeled my small half-bath. I received a hand-me-down pedestal
sink (still in a very good condition) so I'm planning to have it
installed.

The plumber told me the sink doesn't have a set of "brackets" to tie
the sink to the wall (the sink will sit on top of its stand). He said
each sink comes with is "unique" brackets and I need to get a new set
of sink/stand because he can't use the ones I have.

I'm confused: first you say the sink doesn't have a set of brackets, but
then you say the plumber can't use "the ones I have". Which is it?

Is that true? I don't want to spend over one hundred of dollars to
get a new sink/stand if I can only spend few dollars for the hardware
to tie the sink to the wall.

If you really do not have brackets, you should be able to get a set that
will work at any good plumbing supply house (*not* a "home improvement
center" or similar big-box retailer). Tell them what kind of sink it is,
or, better yet, bring it in. I had exactly the same problem some time
ago and bought a set of brackets from a local supply place.
