About this product

Product Information

Sally Breen gives voice to her generation - those somehow smashed in between all the X's and the Y's - maybe lost, maybe beat but most of all casual. 'three things happened at the dawn of the 1990s that would change everything about how we had lived before. We graduated high school, Microsoft shipped Windows 3.0 and America started the Gulf War. We became adults in the 1990s. the start of the world gone mega. Gone global. Gone mad. We became the Casuals and this is our story.' the Casuals is the story of the life and times of one young woman's journey through the last two decades of the 20th century; from her pop-fuelled adolescence in the 1980s to a full-blown grunge ride in the 1990s, Sally Breen is the girl your mother warned you about. A charged and heady exploration of sex, drugs and pop culture, it is also a meditation on loss, death and grief as the author struggles to reconcile her place in a chaotic world. Sally Breen gives voice to her generation; those somehow smashed in between all the Xers and Ys - maybe lost, maybe beat, but most of all casual. 'a stunning example of the honest, meticulous and beautifully rendered details of a supposed ordinary life' - Matthew Condon'a memoir of unquiet things told quietly but with courageous brio against a finely etched suburban background of the 1980s and 1990s' - Frank Moorhouse

I'm unsure if this seller thinks VGC means scratched to high heaven or they deliberately misrepresented the item. Whichever way, the DVD condition was very disappointing. It was shipped in nothing more than a plain paper envelope with no packaging whatsoever when a padded mailer only costs 20¢. Lazy cheapskate sellers who don't give a rat's about items being damaged in transit are becoming far too common nowadays. They provide a negative experience, which thoroughly deserves a negative rating.

I am sorry to hear that your DVD was damaged in the post. A full refund has been given, though you did not message me for this or request a return. Also please send me your contact where I can get padded bags that send as large letters for only 20c, that is amazingly cheap as the best I can find is around $0.50c per padded envelope. The envelopes we ship out with cost us 0.20c each so not sure if you are making this up or I am just paying too much for our packing supplies.

The scratches on the disc and disgustingly grubby condition of the case were most definitely present prior to packaging. Both are signs of abuse, not damage in transit. Of course I didn't message for a refund or request a return, as I didn't want a refund. My intention was not to get something for free, but rather warn others of item misrepresentation and pathetic shipping practices. 20¢ padded mailers - use the eBay search button. Sellers have websites too. Buying in bulk drops cost to 14¢ each
