Have you ever heard the phrase (usually directed at some very recently-single lady) "he's not worth your tears"? Well, how much are tears worth, really? How much are any of your bodily fluids worth? Thankfully the good people at Innovative Research have just the answer! See below for my handy graph showing the value of your various bodily fluids, with 'expensive' liquids such as petrol and high-end champagne thrown in for comparison.

Some urine is more expensive than blood:
3rd trimester human urine
Quantity: $75.00 USD / 50mls Lead time required. Please check for availability.
Quantity: $150.00USD / 100mls Lead time required. Please check for availability.
I wonder how long the leadtime is?
Regular saliva looks 35% more expensive than diabetic saliva.

Well, yes, that's due to the influence of magazines like Saliva Spectator, with today's emphasis on lighter, dryer spittle. Historically, the heavy, sweet diabetic salivas commanded a premium. Personally, I enjoy a nice meritage saliva, with up to 10% ketosis to bring out some of the plummy and gingival tones in pale dry salivas, which are otherwise lacking in depth and character.
Damn! I could replenish my 401K with all the gallons of blood I have donated over the years. ;-)
Petrol is not an expensive liquid - it's cheaper than bottled water.
a litre of semen? what an awkward (though blingin') bottle to carry around
I'd like to see printer ink on there.
If urine is so valuable, why aren't there urine donor centers where you can pee in a cup and receive a small check? I'm seriously asking here.
