What type of blood hospitals / blood banks pay money for?

Question

I’m blood type O negative and can use a few extra bucks income. I’ve heard a type O blood is in high demand. I’m just not sure if it is O positive or O negative. Does anyone know?

Also:

Does anyone have a round figure as to how much they pay?

I’m figuring on $50 a pint.

If indeed, my O negative is the blood they need, I’d like to get on a routine schedule of selling pints.

I figure 4 pints a week would be very handy in the form of extra cash. I’ve already starting drinking lots of OJ and sugary snacks to get those levels up.

Lastly, does anybody know if I’d have to claim this on my taxes as income? If this all works out, I’d be looking at over $10,000 a year gross selling my blood. I’m hoping this is non-taxable income.

Most places only allow you to give one pint of blood every eight weeks. However, you can make money selling plasma. You can donate twice a week and get at least $60 a week.
