I got the Swissmar Borner V-7000 Mandoline on a Lightning Deal for $34.89, down from $49.36. My wish list included the older version V-1001 but it was $5 more than the Lightning price on the V-7000. I have TVWBB imbedded in my Amazon bookmark - every time I get something on Amazon (a lot so far this Christmas) TVWBB gets the benefit!
This year the Monday deals did not show me anything that really rang my bell. But if I had seen your griddle @ 1/2 off I would have gone for that.
Have you tried it out yet?
It's also right at the top of the page below the orange TVWBB banner next to the The Virtual Weber Gas Grill. Quick and easy.
