Buffy, a Juliet coat was spotted in California by Australian Raveler WittyKnitter:
And I have seen that Juliet coat in the realz. It was for sale at Nepenthe at Big Sur, Kaffe’s family home, which is now cafes and a gift shop, for $3000US when I visited there ten years ago.
From my reading of that whole Ravelry thread, the '80s are coming back again. Two grandmas will be à la mode. Now that is news.

$3,000 ten years ago sounds about right. now it would be sold ss art, and should probably be much more (and not worn :) even my own derivative pieces from the 80s--not having the Fassett provenance, of course--was priced around half that at the time and, of course, even that doesn't reflect more than about 1 cent per hour, not to speak of materials! kaffe has mentioned recently that the works themselves are not easy to sell as people just don't seem to get the pricing.
