The inventor of a glitter-shipping site now has enough money to glitter-bomb a small country.

'Ship Your Enemies Glitter,' a website that offers to send potentially annoying glitter-packed envelopes to your worst enemies, has sold for about $105,800 Canadian ($85,000 U.S.) in an online auction.

Glitter-bomber Matt Carpenter put his site up for sale last week because he said he was overwhelmed by the influx of orders.

The 22-year-old entrepreneur's Ship Your Enemies Glitter service offers to send irritating "glitter bomb" envelopes to anyone in the world for $9.99. The site describes glitter as "the herpes of the craft world," and promises to make life "hell" for anyone on the receiving end of a glitter-packed envelope.

"We send glitter to the people you hate," the website says.

Carpenter's site went viral early last week and briefly crashed due to the heavy traffic it received from the link-sharing site Reddit. The site came back online after the crash with a message saying all orders are suspended until the backlog is cleared.

"You guys have a sick fascination with shipping people glitter," the message said.

Carpenter put the site up for auction, citing its out-of-control popularity as the reason.

"It has been stressful dealing with all of the media attention and even more so because this was only intended to be a small side project," Carpenter wrote in the auction posting. "It's taken on a life of its own, and I want to watch it grow under a new owner."

The site has more than $20,000 in sales and racked up 2.5 million visits in the four days after it went viral, according to Carpenter's listing.

Carpenter received 345 bids for the site, including several in the $70,000 USD range, before the winning bidder swooped in with an $85,000 bid.

The winning bidder's identity is anonymous, but he or she has a history of spending $83,000 on previous auctions on the Flippa online marketplace.

Carpenter's listing says he will provide the new owner with training and a list of the backlogged orders so all glitter-bomb requests can be filled. Carpenter also says he'll sign a non-compete contract after the sale is complete.

It does not say whether he'll put that contract in a glitter-filled envelope for the new owner.
