This isn't going to sell for 500K. Even with the extension, locarb.com only gets 74 (usually worth 3 figures at best). The Google numbers are also very poor, only 12,000 page refs and Google asks did you mean "low carb". Typical of the ridiculous ads on Ebay, this one is overpriced at least 100 times more than it is worth.

its just a prweb press release.

A release made by the company itself. LOL its not a release made by yahoo staffs. To get a press release like that you just have to make 60$ payment to prweb and your news goes to all press release sites.
