Garage Sale Mystery: Collection One

What a wonderful find from Hallmark! Great writing and interesting plots without ANY offensive language, revealing outfits or graphic murder details. Wow. Hubby and I kept saying, "This is from Hallmark?!" I was concerned at first when the dvd had stickers noting "Mature themes and violence" and "Recommended for mature audiences" - thinking Hallmark went the way of "Sherlock" in subject matters or something. Well, thankfully this series is on par with the early Poirot (David Suchet), Rosemary & Thyme, Miss Marple, or Murder She Wrote. Clean and story driven. ( I like to 'exercise my grey cells' without all of the suggestive seductive junk out there these days. Bravo to Hallmark!) Love how well this series is shot - zeroing in on valuable items noticed amid a pile of stuff like a true thrift shopper that the lead character plays. Good supporting characters. An actual real family unit (teen kids) with dad and mom that enjoys each other's company. Tech savvy son helps mom with up to date computer programs to solve a case... yet has vintage (really) cool stuff right along side in another case. Love that. Note: Changes from first dvd story to the rest - the husband actor changes as well as the resale shop location. ( I thought they got a new shop due to the roof issue!...) Recommended hands- down. Nothing offensive here - and I am very picky ( ! ) as to what I will watch, much less recommend. Sad that the actress was dropped by Hallmark over a personal situation... this series is wonderful and sure to be a classic. Get them all before they become a rare find...

I love this series and am delighted it's now available. Hallmark Channel, get over it! Lori Laughlin made a stupid mistake. Taking this series away because of a mistake that proved her a nitwit is no reason to punish viewers. If people believe these actors are as flawless as their characters then Hallmark must assume the audience is under twelve. She didn't kill anyone or sell drugs. She is an excellent actress, not the leader of a church. I, for one, would love to see this series continue. Perhaps an episode where she tries to pay to get her son into Harvard and a hospital scene where she's recovering after Dani hits her over the head with an antique mallet. No? Ah well...she paid her dues. In fact she so overpaid it's hilarious. The university is far more culpable.

The Hallmark Garage Sale Mysteries are very well done. The acting is good, there is humor, family and friend relationships that are interesting and entertaining. These are a great escape from the nightly news and the reality of our daily lives. I would also recommend the Hailey Dean Mysteries, The Real Murders with Candace Cameron Bure, Darrow and Darrow, The newer Murder 101 with the young college Mystery Literature teacher. These are my KEEPERS! We return to the scene of the crime. I am the wife.

These 4 movies are great mysteries to watch and are fun and entertaining. I can play these for my granddaughters and not worry about what is happening. All of the disc’s played and had no glitches or issues.

The s-i-x, available, offerings of the "Garage Sale Mystery" movies (12 movies [on 12, separate, discs]) are VERY entertaining. I advise anyone worried about the compatibility of these Australian [Area-code 4] discs NOT to worry. They SAY "4", but are actually playable on an American A/1 disc-player. That is all I have to say other than only the last two titles only have ONE disc. The first 4 collections have 3, or, 4 discs, each. Highly recommended by THIS mystery-fan, and Amazon-buyer/reviewer.

I had never watched any of the Garage Sale Mysteries before, I liked both the actors and stories.

I love the Garage Sale Mysteries and hope to get copies of every one on DVD’S Getting four at one time is absolutely an incentive to purchase.They incorporate mystery with knowledge of antiques and collectibles,wholesome family values, excellent actresses and actors and lots of suspense. Great entertainment! Hoping to see another one coming available with another four of these exciting shows?

This is a great family show you can watch with all ages. Yes it is a little "campy" and predictable, but is also a feel good show that you can watch with your kids. The formula in the show is always the same and there are some story lines carried out through the series so it is entertaining to watch through out all the episodes.

Love this series

Just perfect

There very good and always watchable

I love the gentle intelligence and general lack of cliche in the dialogue. The family story running through the excellent mysteries is charming. Lori Loughlin should have made many many more of these instead of the stupid studios sacking her.

I almost didn't get this one because of the Loughlin's role in the scandal but she came clean on it all and I commend her for it. The mystery is just great - no bad language, no questionable stuff just a very good mystery with very real people.
