Should this item be sold late game for more slot efficient choices? Its stat's don't really help late game that much and the slot could be used for something much more impactful.

If so, it asks the question of whether it's worth it to even buy this in the first place. Sure, it gives VERY helpful stats in the early game such as lots of sustain and also helps clearing a lot, but then so do other items in general. Given that's it's also not the most cost efficient thing ever and how you have to farm it over time to make it useful, as well as the stats not being too noticeable in a gank, is there a point? However, I do understand that selling it late game will reward you with a gold profit in total, but does it justify slowing down your build and delay getting more useful items?

You might as well get something like a cutlass or a tiamat instead, which provide similar health sustain, costs around the same region and will do more damage in a gank., as well as let you clear faster.
