Against 137 recent comparable listings, the typical asking price is US$159, with the middle half spanning US$80–US$399. At US$299, this receiver sits comfortably within that range but well above the median, so it is a fair-to-firm ask rather than an obvious bargain. It needs to be notably clean, tested, and complete to justify the premium.
The RS-2002 is an appealing vintage all-in-one receiver: useful AM/FM reception, a five-band equalizer for practical tone shaping, and the visual appeal of Fisher’s Studio Standard era. It can make a satisfying centerpiece for an affordable vintage system, especially if the tuner, inputs, meters, controls, and EQ all work properly. At this price, prioritize demonstrated operating condition, clean switches, low hum, and an intact faceplate; otherwise, comparable examples closer to the US$159 median offer better value.
