I've given blood but would not mind at all being compensated. Last blood drive I went to was like a huge party - everyone so friendly. But a bit of $ would sure help!
My blood type is o positive i have none of the above desease and i would also like to sell a kidney how does it work i need money urgent
I can not donate either, but many can help others! Thanks for your comments.
Sadly I cannot donate but have many friends who do - this is an important item. Thank you for motivating others!
Blood replenishes itself so it should not be a problem if you are healthy.
Maybe its good to do. Seems like it would keep your blood clean?
Never know when you will need a little extra money, right?
The place I go gives you $25 the first time, $35 the second time. So I can only rake in $60 a week doing it, so $240 a month. Which still isn't bad.

Is A positive rare? If so I'm gonna be rich! Just kidding. Nice idea though, and a great cause. I had no idea that you could get paid for this sort of thing.
Bk - I think they pay you a lot more money for rare blood types!
How interesting. I did not know you could get paid. I have donated blood. But then I am not the universal donor - blood type O. I'm A positive. I wonder if it matters.
Thanks for the information!
