    I’m American and I donate/sell plasma twice a week. $110 each week which is nice extra money for the time, plus I can help people. It’s a win/win as far as I’m concerned.

      Ah, maybe this is the scam.

      Q1. What volume of blood is worth $110?

      Q2. How much does the medical industry charge for the same type/quantity?

        1. Don’t know, because I said plasma, not blood.

        2. Don’t know, don’t care.

        You’re obviously getting at what the companies make versus what they give me, and yes, they make far more than they give me. The margins are quite high. The machines are also very expensive from what I’ve been told.

        Like I told the other person, stop being weird. If you don’t want to do it or think it’s not worth your time, don’t do it.
