If I wasn't a melee class, I would have sold mine.

The quest sword is item level 251, as are drops in Icecrown Citadel 10 man raid. Depending on the itemization (haste? armor penetration? crit?) you want, you may or may not find a minor upgrade there. ICC 25 man drops ilvl 264 and should offer a better weapon though, as should 10 man on heroic, which will be locked for some time yet.
EDIT: I got the hilt the first day of the patch and got the sword now, but havent seen it drop after that, despite clearing two or all of the new dungeons on heroic every day. So I suppose the price could be still high - but the more you wait, the less it will be.

This. I personally don't know Hunters that well, but since you don't actually USE the weapon....Just have it for the stats, why waste the potential 5-10k(w/e your server goes for) that you would make off of the Hilt. Take the gold and save it for something that may be more worthwhile to you down the road, like new patterns that will spring up. Or old ones now that the prices on them are dropping thanks to easy Crusader Orbs.

makes very good caster weapons, almost BiS.

I wasted 6k just to get 2 free sockets for AH-leveling BS. Stopped at 400 and dont plan to go on. So why not to "pay" for any other piece of gear? And what about armor? Do you "use" it? No, its just a slot, you dont swing it around, yet still you seek upgrades... I wonder why?

Pugable. Even with BM hunters.

The question wasn't whether he should purchase a hilt or not. It's whether he should sell his for the gold that I personally would find more usefull for said "armor that isn't swung around, but worn," or if he should use the hilt to get the weapon that's just there for the stats as a BM.
TL:DR(not really) The gold is most likely going to go towards a better upgrade than if you used it on the weapon. Or maybe you'll just use it to get a mount that costs a ton/cloth rep/leveling a profession the gold old AH style.

if you have an alt that is close to 80 i would keep it; just cause it will give you a massive upgrade to your stats as a new 80...assuming you can get some friends/guild help

Personally I would keep it, but that's just me. I raid on a regular basis, but as someone said, there are only a few items that are better, one of which isn't even available yet in the game. You have to think, what are the odds of you getting it again? What are the odds of you replacing it with an upgrade? Granted, eventually the price will go down, so even if you never see it drop or win the roll off for it if you do, you can always spend the gold on it... I think really once you start weighing the pros and cons yourself, you are the only one that can say for sure what you should do.
