When selling an account, you're selling your rep along with it. There's no way to put a sign on your character's back saying "Under New Management". An unscrupulous buyer could use that to advantage. It's disconcerting to anyone who knows you through your character as well.
There's also the point that you signed an agreement with Blizzard not to sell your account. You will have to decide for yourself what that means to you.
There are no real negative consequences to you if you do sell. There probably isn't much chance of bad things happening in-game either. Nobody's going to flog you, disown you, or make nasty faces at you behind your back.
I wouldn't do it myself, though. I value keeping my agreements too strongly to do that.
