S-Works selling advice

Hey,
I'm not really into mountain biking - I'm more of a beginner roadie. I bought a mountain bike quite a few years and have never really used it due to time. I don't really know anything about components etc.
I wish to sell it by eBay, or possibly an ad here at some point soon - would I be better off stripping it down and selling it in bits or as a complete bike? Also if selling it as a complete bike should I put a reserve on it on eBay? I literally have no idea what it is worth.
Here is a list of components (I dont know much about MTB parts so I have read these off the components themselves);
Pic attached.
Thanks in advance for any help.
S-Works M5 17" Frame
Fox F80 Forks (recently serviced by Mojo)
XT Rear Dérailleur
Deore front mech
XTR M960 XTR Cranks with middle burn rings
DMR V12 pedals
Shimano hollow bottom bracket (XT?)
Shimano BR-525 hydraulic disc brakes with Goodridge hoses
Easton EC70 carbon seat post
Specialised Henge saddle
FSA K-Force Carbon handlebars
Bontrager Race lite carbon bar ends
Hope XC Stem (90mm)
Hope headset
Hope QR seat post collar
Mavic 717 Rear wheel on hope hub
Mavic 117 front wheel on shimano hub
Panaracer XC fire Pro 2.1 tyres

Strip it and sell the parts. Nice bike but the parts are worth more individually.Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350

+ potato. You will be amazed how much money you will make from parts, ok its a bit more work but worth the effort.0
