The Australian website that invites you to torment your enemy by sending him or her a box of glitter has sold for $85,000 just days after launching.
Mathew Carpenter, the creator of ShipYourEnemiesGlitter.com launched the website on Jan. 13, offering the evil boxes for about $10.
Carpenter said that he made about $20,000 in just a week. But then, within days of launching, he put the whole website up for sale, with this ad on the website ProductHunt.com:
