I really messed up and need some help!
To be honest, This is a hard question. I know you can sell a precursor (I actually screwed up and did so!!) but I honestly do not know if you can sell a precursor you craft through the “Mastery Track”.
I really hope it works out for you.

I’m really bummed out, 370 gold is a lot for me, and if I end up with two precursors of the same kind it’s going to really hurt.
‘This final collection unlocks the recipe to craft the polished final iteration of the precursor. For all of our existing precursors, this is a tradable exotic weapon, but they will all be updated to use new skins that look much like the legendary weapons they’ll one day become.’

As far as I know you can still craft the legendary although you equipped the precurser (haven’t tried it, though) – I have no idea whether or not this is then soulbound or if you can still sell the made legendary.
The precursers (and probably legendaries?) you crafted via HoT mastery path are account bound though.
So: craft the legendary with your precurser and do another precurser path in HoT.

“Let’s use the Moot as an example. A moot is a norn celebration of prowess, so that’s the basis of our themes for the legendary mace named for it. The first collection is all about the hunt, so you’ll be proving your abilities by fighting fierce creatures around Tyria and acquiring a trophy to show for it. By completing this collection, you’ll unlock a recipe to craft the first iteration of your precursor—a nontradable exotic weapon with a distressed version of the existing precursor skin. It could use a little polish and refinement, which will be the focus of the second tier collection.”
From the same link.
First iteration is not the final precursor, which is what the OP bought.
Ok – then good luck.
I do believe there is also an Achievement for having Two of the same Legendary

Howler is a warhorn though and no class can wield double warhorns I don’t think. So I doubt making two Howlers will do it.
I’ll suggest that you use the soulbound Howl you already have, make Howler, sell it, use those proceeds to buy the materials needed to craft another one from legendary crafting mastery. I am not sure how the legendary crafting mastery goes, but I think all it does is give you a account-bound precursor that you can then go and make a legendary from. This idea will cost twice as much karma, spirit shards, and tokens, but you should already have the 2nd gift of exploration. you’ll probably also end up with an extra ~500g.
I would give anet support a ring first. submit a ticket (https://help.guildwars2.com/home, top-right corner). Best I would expect them to do is have you delete that Howl, tell them the time, then they would send you a new one that is tradable. should be able to get almost all your gold back after selling it, since you’re likely not wanting to keep it because of wanting to do the legendary crafting mastery.

Sell the precursor you get from the mastery and use the one you bought?
The crafted precursors are account bound AFAIK.
If I understand your post correctly, you bought a precursor for howler and later on soulbound it. Then you realized you could craft howler precursor from legendary mastery track.
If you finish the Legendary with the TP bought precursor it should be unbound (keyword: should) sell it, and make a new legendary with your crafting precursor?
But what I don’t understand is, did you already finish crafting your mastery precursor? Didn’t people whine massively about the time-gate and gold cost associated with precursor crafting?

Make the second precursor.
IF not bound, sell it, make legendary from the bound one
OTHERWISE
Make one legendary
IF not bound, sell it, make second legendary
If you can get the achievement from having twin legendaries without soul bounding them, get it and then sold one legendary.
the precursor you got via mastery CAN be traded.
It’s my understanding that the “old” precursors are tradeable whether you obtain them through crafting or as a drop. It’s in the last sentence of the wiki page: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Precursor_weapon
