Sparks280zt Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Most places will take all types of blood plasma, atleast the places I have seen here in Charlotte. Here the going rate is $40 to $50 per session. I am not sure how often you can give. The blood taken at the places that pay you, is not used in America. Foreign governments buy it, thats where the money comes in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ledphoot Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Theres a place near here in Greenville NC that does that. You can get like $280 in the first 2 weeks if you follow through. I think they harvest platelettes too for Hemophiliacs and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Yeah its not just like donating blood. They take your blood out then seperate the red blood cells and put them back in. They keep the other stuff "plasma" and use it for hospitals and stuff. I do it at a local place up here in State College PA. It's a private company called BioLife. You can go up to twice a week, the first time you go they give you $25, the second time you get $35. Not bad for about 3-4 hrs of your time a week. Puts new parts on my car. Not bad. This is for a pint at a time? If I get desperate, there's blood, a kidney, a testicle, who knows?! The possibilities are endless. Hmmm, more money for the Z. I like that. Theres a place near here in Greenville NC that does that. You can get like $280 in the first 2 weeks if you follow through. I think they harvest platelettes too for Hemophiliacs and such. If that's true, then there's one here too. I gotta look into that. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey_Allen Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Hello all, I'm Josh and I'm new here as well. I'm an off and on again military tech. Army Signal Corps for 4 years, 3 years as a general communications contractor (AT&T Wireless tower testing and site installation, mostly), now followed by Air Force Reserve avionics maintenance. I'm thinking that when I eventually come back to the civilian side, I need to stay away from communications, so probably going back to school for medical technology repair in the near future. All in all, staying employed to earn money for the various automotive projects, the "new" 73 v8z conversion being the latest in the series. Happy wrenching, all!

Gareth Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 I'm Tony, and even tough I'm kinda new here too, I already feel familiar on HybridZ. I'm still a high school student, but I work for a classic car magazine, and I'm informally assigned as a Japanese and American specialist. I've been working there for a year or so, and I love it! I'm hoping to become a proffesional automotive journalist in future. I sent my CV to a tuning mag, a generic car mag and automotive TV - we'll see if anyone accepts me for work. I also work for an online car mag, it's been a lot of fun until now. My dream is to become a professional Zcar restorer and tuner. The European market for classic cars is still growing, so it's not impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
