Most people donate, but the money will be minimal at best.
I would never sell my Panasonic Plasma, they have good motion, great color and you cannot easily get them anymore cause led and oleds are cheaper to make
I think my daughter said she could get $200, but that may have been a multi-donation commitment.
I used to donate blood twice a year. Mostly to the Red Cross but sometimes to a hospital or blood drive organized by people related to someone who was sick. Can’t do it anymore - doctor’s orders.
A couple years ago I needed blood. Luckily the hospital had my size and color in stock.
Looks like $40 to $60 range, per this website:

The company I worked for in the 1980s had four plasmapheresis centers in southern California. Three of the four were in moderately high crime places so that might be something to consider. Also if you do repeat draws your arm will look like you are shooting drugs.
Everyone in the blood supply chain gets paid big bucks except the stupid voluntary donors.
the MD/CEO of our local “non-profit” blood bank was paid $800,000. While the sheep lined up to give blood for patients who the hospital would bill enough to buy a trip to Paris.
Only a fool would fall for donating blood.
Per the link in post #9, the Federal gov limits the number of ‘donations’ to 2 within a 7 day period. That would be about 8 ‘donations’ per month.
I’d donate but they couldn’t pay me enough for the expensive scotch that comes comes with the blood.
Is plasma only in part.
But that, they say,
Can be sold for good pay
At Whole Foods Deli and Mart.

several of us here in the forum met the author & followed the blood trail from arkansas through canada & EU
there may be some old threads on this archived on here somewhere
I used to do it like 30 years ago. It attracted the dregs of society….myself included.
I think non covid vaccinated people would be doing a service even if they get paid.
I am uncertain about how the covid shots affect the blood. I am not saying I am sure they damage it but there seems to be good evidence that they can provoke clotting and cardio problems in some so I am dubious about blood donations from those who have had the shot/s.
It has become more clear now than ever, that one’s life is in the blood. Since the exposure of the MRNA Gene therapy shots I personally would not trust anyone with that responsibility. Years ago I used to donate plasma but now I wouldn’t even consider it. Perilous days!
