Help me value my bike?

Hi

I'm trying to figure out how much my bike is worth? It's over a grand's worth of kit, but obviously is worth a lot less due to depreciation. I've had it up for sale for £500 but I'm really not close enough to what's-worth-what to know whether this is in the right range.

Can anyone advise please?

Spec is:

Giant Defy 4 (2012) frame, carbon forks
Full Shimano 105 groupset (11-28 cassette, 34-50 crankset)
Shimano 105 pedals
Fulcrum Racing Quattro wheelset (done less than 50miles)
Continental Grand Prix 4000s II (25mm) tyres (done less than 50miles)
Swiss Stop brake pads (loads of life left)
Deda Zero 1 stem
Deda RHM 01 bars
Charge Spoon saddle
Elite Custom Race bottle holder
Unsure of exact size, but I'm 5'8" and it's bang-on for me.
In good condition, well maintained and regularly serviced. A few scratches here and there but purely cosmetic and minor.

Many thanks

    Its only worth what people will pay for it. If youve tried 500 and nobody bought it then its valued too high. a 5 year old bike is worth a lot less than 50% of what you paid for it - its probably down to 50% in the first year.

    Try ebay and see what you get.

    Split it up...

    £150 wheels and tyres
    £150 for the 105
    £15/£20 each for the saddle, bars stem etc
    £75 or more on the bay for the frame

    Near £500 back... bingo

    To be fair, these forums are not moderated anymore - so he could be asking how to make a biological terror weapon and he still wouldn't get pulled up.
