    Acer are good price/spec laptops. I don't think you've done bad.

    Reserve it for how much you would be happy to sell it for. Maybe consider the reserve as the price of the new laptop you want? (remember to include ebay seller fees).

    Also remembre to 'big up' the spec on ebay. People pay way over the odds on ebay for laptops.
