occasionally I get some used HW from eBay and I'm missing these M.2 SSD retainer screws, mostly in HP stuff. anyone know where I can find these? I imagine they are not expensive, but I have no HP P/N to search with and keyword searching hasn't resulted in anything useful.

I dont mean to sound like a smart***, but... where you live, there are 2 HPE sites and 10+ HPE partners. Were I you, Id just try to get hold of one HP guy who listens to you, maybe even dug out via LinkedIn and plain ask if she/he gets you in touch with a tech guy or IT dept employee.

From my experience they are cool if you have such a request (please drop me such a screw). Most likely they are even fascinated hearing about your equipment and what you do and easily get you the parts you need.

For various reason, I would rather be able to purchase them than to rely on favors.

Ok understood.

In that case ask a refurbished reseller with your picture, board type and a picture of the board where the screw belongs to:
