Clearing card debt

Hi All,
I currently owe around £8k on 2 credit cards, which are interest free for at least 4 months from now.
I've decided to set myself a challenge to see how much of this I can pay off with just selling things I have on eBay - have bought a lof of things over the past years which I don't use so will try to get all together and start today by compiling a box (or a few boxes) of stuff and making a list with estimated value to see how much of this I can clear by just doing this
Will update with a list here once I have everything together, see how far I get (and how good my estimates were in a couple of weeks time :rotfl:!)
