When I donate blood, I get 21.5€ compensation, I'm pretty sure the receptionist, the doctor and the nurse that are (in total) occupied for half an hour probably cost another 50€ pre-tax/social insurance. The equipment, lab-testing, transport etc. will probably cost another 50€. And I get a free lunch, that's probably worth 5.22€. In total that's 126.72€ or 148.5 USD. Double that for the blackness of the market to get to 297$ doesn't seem too far off. I assume the prices in the image are retail prices, and not wholesale, so post-extraction.
