Babylon A.D. was one of the hairbands that arrived a little late (1989) to the hairband party, but their self-titled CD is in demand and somewhat hard to find. As the seller describes, "Count on Babylon A.D.'s debut to get the job done if you crave in-your-face hooks, loud riffs and more attitude than a snotty 10-year old kid going on his 11th foster home. These second-division brats rock it loud with "Bang Go The Bells", "When The Hammer Swings Down" and more from the hell-raising days of the late 80s. A snug fit for anyone who already hangs Cry Wolf, Heavens Edge and XYZ in their musical wardrobe."
Here is what is so surprising: this CD usually only earns the seller about $20 (give or take a few bucks). However, a notable exception recently arose that has me confused. What kind of bidding war escalated here to let this one go for $53.99 on ebay (19 bids)? There doesn't appear to be anything super special about this particular disc. Lucky seller?
The CD is currently selling for $19.99 on Amazon.com. Check now.

This Babylon A.D. CD is good but not $50+ good. I can go to 2 local record shops right now and pick up four copies for $5 each. Maybe I should and put them up for auction.

Hey Steve -
You'd surely make a profit, but it is not likely to be as much as the seller who sold for $50...I see most of these CDs going for $20 tops. Still ain't bad if you can find them for only $5 a pop.
Thanks for commenting. --Bill
