whats the going rate on a hit?

how much does your typical, run-of-the-mill hit cost these days?

my guess is 15k.

also, how wide is the spectrum for quality in having it done?

i think the cheapest you could go is like 500 dollars to have some crackhead at least try to kill the person.

and how much is like a very well done and professional hit go for. say, the perfect crime? i am thinking 100k.

obviously the price is dependent upon how high-profile the person is. i.e. much more expensive for a celebrity or politician.

but yeah i would guess it is:
bare-bones crackhead killing: 1k
budget/economy killing: 10-20k
high performance pro job: 100k.

are my numbers way off? what think you?

heh "budget killing".. makes it sound like you're trying to decide between what type of car to rent.

I'd guess $25K for a top end. I'm sure there are tons of people out there who would kill for much less than $10K.

i think fargo sheds some light on this, or was it meant to be just a kidnapping?

I'm pretty sure that you could find someone that would get the job done for $5K.

I know a zip who will do it for under 1k. Your numbers are really high though, you could probably have 90% of the general population done away with for under 10k.

I was just reading today in Maxim or some magazine that Michael Irvin had a hit put out on him back in '96, and the downpayment was like $2,900. So if the typical DP is 10% then you're looking at $30K for a celebrity, championship-ringed WR.

$8,653.47

I think 'budget/economy' hits are going to be ~40k at least.

i think this has got to be a very differentiated industry. low end your numbers are right imo but i think high end would be as much as $1M (or more!) for the right organization/person to kill. like if they were higher profile or whatever. imagine for a hit on GWB, how much you'd have to pay...
