Good luck! Those are pretty rare, even broken ones. The attachments and box are even more rare! I hope you are willing to spend quite a bit, because I don't think anyone here is going to let go of theirs for under $250!
Also, on an unrelated note, this belongs in the Supermarket section. Would the webmaster be so kind as to see this thread get moved to the correct category? |

I was going to say bison are all over in Wyoming and Montana. If you want a vacuum cleaner that runs those are super rare. Either the bison that runs is a show piece never gets used or it's not running and parts are not available.
Either way $350-$400 is low end and I'm sure eBay has them but there expensive. Les |

I found this incomplete, but working example on eBay for a reasonable price.

I remember seeing that on eBay back in early 2018. No surprise it's still there, price unchanged. The $65 shipping price is ridiculous because I am sure the handle comes off and you can fit it in a smaller box. I think he just guessed the weight and dimensions and put in random numbers, and that has a huge impact on the price once you go over so many feet in height.
It's as cheap as you can get if you want a Bison in your collection, and then slowly add parts to it over time when they show up, or if you find one complete then you already have a parts inventory ready to go. |
