You always seem either double red or whole blood. What's everyone go with and why?

Double red. And I don't let them talk me into plasma..
I think I get a voicemail every 2 days asking me to come in.
They call me every week about donating platelets. It's getting really annoying.
How long does it take for them to do double reds? I don't think ive ever done anything but whole blood.
Yep. Best thing you can do is just go donate double red then I believe you have to wait 112 days before you can donate plasma. They stop calling for a bit at least(usually).

I thought some may find this video useful.

If you don't want to be on some donor list, or going through the Red Cross or all that nonsense and just want to dump some blood to keep HCT down, how does one do this? Put an ad on craigslist? To pay someone who maybe could help you do this and does it professionally? Is it illegal to just dump some blood for better health?
My HCT is currently running 48 and I was 44 baseline and would not mind bumping it back down.
