This is an official music industry award and should not be confused with any kind of replica or ‘limited edition’ that is sold direct to the public.      Only one other Lou Reed album has been certified Gold by the RIAA, so this is a very rare chance to own a genuine Lou Reed RIAA Award.    Please see my other items for more rare awards from the music industry including BPI & RIAA Awards.   Shipping Info   The item can be collected, or shipped at the following cost (including insurance):   £12 - UK £26 - EU £36 - Rest of Europe £38 - USA/Canada £48 - Rest of the world   Payment Info   Payment can be made by cheque/bankers draft in UK Pounds.  Paypal is also accepted, however, if you have an unconfirmed address, then you will need to contact me before placing your bid.  Cash can be accepted, but only if the item is personally collected.   Payment should be received within 10 days of the auction end.  The item will then be shipped within 5 days of receiving payment.    If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me before placing your bid.  Thanks!
