Blood banks don't usually pay for blood. That's why it's called donating... If someone is paying for blood where do I sign up because I could use the money.. :-/

Elsewhere in the thread, but the nuance is what it is used for. You can get paid if it ends up as plasma.

I had friends who sold plasma to get through college. Like 50-100 each time they went.
