whats the going rate on a hit?

[snagglepuss]

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?
