I would have snatched her up! However, I don't have a 99, and am still in the first stages of what I will call my VSM obsession!!! (though from reading through posts, I am thinking once bitten the obsession may never end).
I only have a 15-91, but hope to acquire a few more (first choices - a 201 and a treadle of some type eventually). I would love to eventually learn to restore from start to finish, but do have someone in my area who can do all the re-wiring, cleaning, getting it into working order.
If I had multiple machines already and was in the middle of restoring a 201 - that would likely affect my decision too. Wish you were in my neck of the woods, but I plan to start lurking in my local Goodwill shop.
