I have an RT2, #170, from 2008. I believe 2008 was indeed the last year the RT's were built. Paul over in the Classifieds (guitars44me) can give you all the details if you want to know more. He is friends with one of the 6 luthiers on that crew. They are great guitars but as Earl notes, once the BTO program began it put the RT program out of business.
Last year, a few of these were in the Classifieds, running low to mid 3000's (asking so surely sold for a little less). As always, depends on wood combo, condition, and of course, the market forces. But I agree with Earl that ~$3000 isn't too far off.
I couldn't say which way, "off". Things are both ways with sales. Some folks getting higher prices, others having to make reductions to make a sale.
