Need help pricing my bike

I am listing my bike on ebay and need help pricing it

Its an 02 Specialized Stumpjumper M4 in excellent condition, don't know how much reserve I should set, any ideas on how much it worth, I have been riding my road bikes for years now and have no idea on mtn bikes value.

Here is the link

Five year old bike. Ask yourself what a five year old computer is worth. Add $100.

Just list it low and let the bidding do it's magic.

It's amazing how much people will pay for used bike gear when they get caught up in auction hype. For example, last month I put up a used fork really cheap. 40+ people were watching the auction by the time the price got to $100 and it finally sold for about $200 (which was $10 less than I bought it for brand new 2 years ago).

Yeah, its in a great condition, I will take some high resolution pictures and list it without a reserve and see what will happen.
Thanks for your input

Hi-res clean images work magic on ebay. Use Auctiva and they'll host them for free.
