Keep in mind that almost every model has a complete hardware manual on lenovo's site for free. Many on ebay and online sell these on a CD for $10+ a pop.
I have found many don't know about all the resources.
Also buying from IBM direct a lot of times is the best bang for buck. They do have a min. of $10 for shipping, $20 for priority.
I ordered a screw kit off ebay for $7 shipped, it would have been $2.65 + $10 from IBM. When it came it didn't have any of the tape goods, half the screws and screw caps needed for a full break down. Almost all the ebay screw kits match this.
Those online vendors (and most on ebay) that sell refurbished screws are sending you used screws. Normally this isn't a big deal, but IBM/Lenovo uses nylon coated screws designed for one use. Sure they work more than once, but it's out of design spec and you aren't really saving money.
