Hi, I'm cleaning out a bunch of books and belongings--late spring cleaning--liberation from clutter! I have a set of comic book reprints--a bound set of the entire run of this comic, with five separate slip cases. The books were bought for research for a musical I wrote years ago, and I keep holding onto them, though I've lost the stage rights to the material--but the set was somewhat pricey. I thought I should finally sell them, but something keeps holding me back--reluctant to let go I guess. I doubt I'll ever return to this show, but if I did get rid of them, I could never reassemble all the comics if I wanted to rewrite or update. They're not in quite collectible condition--some sun-bleaching of some of the spines, a little wear and tear, but mostly in good shape. Because of my indecision, I asked "what is the wisdom of selling the comic collection?"

I rolled 14 with 9 in the first and fourth places, turning to 18. 14 is Sovereignty, Possession in Great Measure, or Great Possessions (Karcher). Well, the collection isn't THAT valuable, but obviously I assign it some value, sentimental or otherwise. 1st 9 says in effect "there is nothing harmful in this idea". 2nd 9 says "Do not seek to be forceful or dominant". Well, I'm not--just wondering if in the future I would regret selling these (I'd rather have asked a yes or no question but apparently we should shun that path). Then, 18 is Repair, Decay, or Corruption (Karcher). "Disorder, perversion or decay, with roots in the past. Renew, renovate, find a new beginning". (Karcher)

I suppose I could interpret this EITHER way--sell them, keep them. I can't really repair them, although I could clean them, but I think there's some reference to the musical itself and either the fact that I should try to repair or upgrade the musical, but that seems tangential to the actual question. But maybe the actual question is, "will I ever need these again?"

Does anybody else with a dispassionate eye have an idea about this?

Thanks!
Chad

Hi Chad

Perhaps the wisdom is something like this:

14 - Karcher says "Great inspiration from within spreads brightness warmth and beauty....... Checking negative emotion supports positive change."
14.1 - There is nothing wrong with you wanting to sell them and nothing wrong with feeling like you do. Just sit on in there and soak it all up and work through all the feelings and thoughts you are having.
14.4 - No need to beat yourself up about the rights and wrongs. Both the needs of the heart and the head are important.
18 - Once you understand what is important to you, what your true needs are then you'll be better placed to do something about it. The thing that is right for you.

14.1,4 > 18

It suggests that there is no longer any point to keep them, as they serve no purpose anymore. While Hex 18 indicates that it is a time to do some spring cleaning, and get rid of any clutter that you still possess.

So, the wisdom is, sell them on.
