Suppose you need the money to contribute towards a better building that is going to benefit you more because others are more likely to use it (and pay you) or it's a points multiplier like the bank, that's going to benefit you greatly. The other reason might be that you haven't got enough food and need to sell a build rather than take a loan.
Hey Jason, so what you are saying (multiplier) is that you build a building using resources and then sell that straight away. In that way you've sort of earned money through the resources? Hmmm... this does make sort of sense, though still feels like a waste of VP's..
I meant multiplier as in The Bank which is a building that gives you points for owning certain other buildings. As the building FAQ link points out, you probably wouldn't want to buy the bank so it was a bad example! Your example is valid too though, perhaps turning resources into money by building then selling isn't too bad a strategy, but it doesn't pay off for a lot of buildings as their end game value is significantly higher than their selling price.
