Ship Your Enemies Glitter

[Mark Anthony Le]

http://shipyourenemiesglitter.com

Considering this is a fairly new website. Tons of coverage. Unique idea.

It's already being bidded for 70K USD at the moment.

What're your thoughts? Fastlane?

Violating the 5 commandments?

Nonetheless, love the simple idea and premise.

Hmm, ok, someone hates me and buy glitter gift from you to piss me off. I open letter, see that inside is a lot of glitter and spread it all around me?
Is inside any mechanism that blows all this shit?

I'm not sure what I think about this idea. This make world a little worst, because hate, enemies, but not to much. It's slight thing. More like joke. The whole idea sounds really nice in comparision with polish schools. D

I had thought right now. Maybe it'd be better like "make a joke to your best friend"?? I think more people would do such a thing for their friends than for their enemies. Perspective of cleaning jeans from glitter isn't any nightmare, and when we hate someone we want to hit this person in the middle of face, not send envelope full of colored dust. But as a joke it would be great for me! : )))) It's is possible that I would bought it. : ))))

site is 2 weeks old, they never shipped anything to begin with... and somehow got this crappy idea to go viral and now want $70k for something that they never put any work into???

Im very confused as to how a 2 week old site like this can go viral without knowing someone "big" to help you with the scam.

I could start the same site but calls it "send your enemies dog poop", buy all the facebook ads I could manage and NOBODY, I mean NOBODY would care...let alone offer to buy a brand new site with no ranking for over $70k

amazing the scams people can pull off

No, seriously, they already send it to friends. Nobody sends glitter to a real enemy. It's a joke.

That would be so not funny.

The owner isn't asking for 70k. He set his reserve much lower.
The market wants to pay $70k - https://flippa.com/3783970-20-000-i...on-visits-in-4-days-hugely-popular-viral-site

I'm sure right now, that site can get so many leads based on it's traffic that it may be worth it for someone who can use them.

Many questions should be asked by whoever wants to buy.

Some things seem off about that site.

Envious much? It's not crappy if he was able to command that much traffic. His copywriting is actually something that should be studied, very effective in attracting his target market. Don't dismiss it so easily and instead try to learn from his actions. You'll be much better off, believe me.

The website is more humorous then the service itself!

I think it will fail. It's negative. People generally want to pay for positive products.

There's something strange about the shutdown

I predict 1200 copy cats by the weekend.

It's the opposite of strange. It's very smart.

Buy low, sell high.

He has an idea that's extremely easy to replicate, and will not maintain that order of sales. Rather than having a 'job' of fulfilling glitter orders that he'll watch the sales fall after some time, he let's someone else deal with it and cashes out for what he can get, and moves to the next idea.

If he sold it.

You guys wouldn't suppose that halting sales for this long hasn't already hampered his ability to rake in a high profit?

Even if he was able to outsource it, he'll still be making bank from the media exposure

The site is down/dead. No orders coming in.

We'll probably get the real/full story in a few weeks.

It will be interesting to see how this resolves.

 

[Vigilante]

Update : the site is listed on Flippa with a current bid of $70k+

I am moving him into the smart category.

The reserve has been met https://flippa.com/3783970-20-000-i...on-visits-in-4-days-hugely-popular-viral-site

 

[pickeringmt]

Yeah, this is stupid - just like the snuggie, the selfie pole thing, and a social network that only lets you type 140 characters.

All that matters is people are jumping on this thing with cash in hand. People want this.

That is what we are here for.

It creates value for the customer - even if it is in a way that doesn't make a lot of sense.

What the legal action could be taken against the website owner and the sender?

Sometimes dumb ideas can be profitable...

Was wondering about that, if it sprayed up into someone's eyes.

You are selling a product that is intended to piss people off.

It's going to piss people off. There are no rules on who you can or cannot sue.

 

[Under-Dog]

stupid ideas can be brilliant ones if the market is there in this case I believe it's mostly about the "hype"

Seems the site expanded into a full-blown online Spencer's Gifts of sorts.

Interesting to see how it transformed over the course of a year.

 

[ZF Lee]

Actually this look like a pretty good online store....I feel tempted to make some orders.
The atmosphere of the website is very jovial...I like it!
