I bought a dell inspiron 5748 and i'm wanting to sell it but i need opinions of how much i can sell it for?

I7-4510-u processor
8gb of single channel ram (max)
1tb 5400 rpm hardrive
nvidia geforce 840m graphics + hd 4400 graphics
17.3 inch screen with 1600x900 resolution
hdmi,wireless,bluetooth,3 usb ports

Now the twist comes .....it has been opened up partially to try and clean the fans but i was unsuccessful (so many screws and inpossible to open up i couldnt figure it out)
I then put it back together now the batterie isn't detected i've tried everything on the internet for a fix but nothing worked there must be something wrong on the inside. and also the screws are a little messy as my screw driver was to big........ but before i tried opening up everything was working 100 percent and the laptop is in like new condition...and it only works when plugged in.

How much do you think i can sell it for as is?

Ads saying $700 means nothing.
Sold price is the key.
Find your laptop in used condition on ebay.
Then filter on completed auctions,
In green you will see what the part actually sold for.
Adjust for the condition, you need full disclosure.
 
it sucks because i seen some ads on this laptop selling this exact laptop for 700 to 750 canadian.......and i just had to open it up to try and fix it but i messed it up now tha value has gone way down 🙁
