The last time I saw an unmodified EB-2 for under $2K was about five years ago, locally. It was $1800.
EB-2D is on my personal "must buy in 2019" list so I've been following the market pretty closely...
They do pop up well under $2K but that's a bass that I would be scared to buy sight unseen. There was - maybe still is - a gorgeous sunburst '67 on TB for $1700 or so. GC in Manhattan had 4 at one point, priced from $1200 to 2800, I tried all of them and unfortunately both the 1200 and 1800 pieces needed a neck reset, and badly so. Both sold nevertheless.
GC somewhere in MA bought a colection of EB-2D and Guild Starfire basses from a widow of retired bass player, I'll never forgive myself for not grabbing at least one of those. A couple of them are still out in various GCs over the country, but only the most expensive pieces remain...
