This thing is beginning to become more popular, and though it was one of those genuines that nobody cared about back when it was released, it can easily be sold for one key. I have sold 2 for a key:

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/8446652

The first was paid pure, the second was paid in 3.77 refined metal.

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/5314369 C/O is 3 ref already. Buyout is idiotic, but it shows that at the very least 2.66 is an old price.

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/8819139 Hidden offer of a unique cape (1 key value). B/O of a key.

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/8735967 Hidden offer of 4 ref. The offerer has obtained one in their backpack, suggesting they bought from someone for that price.

And every cape is above the market price for keys on Steam Market.

Of course, you can do your own search to find the myriad of sellers for a key straight. Nobody is really letting these go for as low as 2.66 at least, and I have yet to find anyone accept 3 ref. I set a low range of 3.33 More proof found will be placed in the comments.

I sold mine for 3.66, approved : http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/8684202

edit: shit wait it's non-gen, but still.

I'd say they are worth the same about now, I've seen a few people willing to swap clean for genuine and the other way around.

Upvoted. Been trying to buy one for a week at 2.66 and even 3 Ref. only 2 sellers at 3 Ref and they both have inactivity for weeks.

In the last suggestion I posted proof of selling 20 at 1 key each within a week. I have sold about 6 in the last 2 days for 1 key each. This is an easy upvote.

Got one myself for a key a couple days back. Up-vote.

But what are we to do about the craftable version that goes for a key?

I'm not sure. I'd say they could both reasonably stay priced at a key unless the unique price goes down.

Seems it'll stay that way, though it does bug me that currently the genuine is the same cost as a unique.

Does it bug you that Unique Distinguished Rouges and Foppish Physicians are worth more than their Genuine alternatives?

Well those are obviously more supposed to be worth more. I'm not an idiot!

I completely agree. I have sold 50+ genuine capes in the last month and several uniques and it takes WAY longer for me to sell uniques. So I sell the unique ones to the warehouse and buy the genuine cape which I can easily sell for a key.

Edit: he even managed to get one for 3 ref, might have been a one-off though

Upvote, sold mine for that price, and had trouble buying a new one for below that.
