They are untradeable unless you go premium, so theres nothing else you can do but letting them rot in your inventory.. may I ask why you cant go premium? Because normally I´d advice to use 0,07€ Wallet-Money to go Premium and trade the 3 ref for a very cheap game or maybe something you can sell on the market like a ToD-Ticket and make at least a few cents that way.

ah damn, thats bad :/ Other ways to get Premium would be buying the Orange Box or try to get this item from somebody via trading (with DOTA2/CS:GO items, other games, etc..), but that would be far too expensive if you´d do it only to get the three ref.

If you crafted this you cant trade them, but if someone give you item you can trade it ( all gifted items are tradable ). If you wanna sell your droped items you need premium. all items for achievments are not tradable ( even on premium) ... i think its all.
btw.
1 tf2 key = 7-8 ref

you can only use the market if you've bought sth. from the store before.
OP already said that all his games come from friends, so the market is no option.

yes, but to buy something as gift on Steam he needs money in his wallet.
and the whole idea to use the market is to get money in his wallet in the first place.
so, yeah ... :P

If you were smart and crafted your ref using normal and not achievement weapons, then the ref will be tradable as soon as you get premium.
Of course, in order to get premium to have to buy something from the TF2 store first, so you could try selling card drops on the market and then test-running a weapon then buying it for like a few cents.
