Consider it bankroll management if you can sell for at least 80% value. If you don't have at least 10 buyins at that stake, you should sell because:
1) That is a significant amount of money to you
2) Due to #1, you might play scared or a bit more conservative with more money than usual on the line (not always the case but it does affect a lot of players including myself (satty into a $4k and realized after I was playing too tight when my usual tournament entry is $200-$500).
