Everything's cheaper in Mexico, including hired assassins
Useful information. I'll have to keep it on file, in case there is a dispute in the neighborhood.
Below are selected prices that are paid to professional assassins on the black market.

In Australia, the median price to hire a hit man is $13,610, with the price going up to $83,000 based on the task.

In Mexico, the cost for a low level assassin is $208, and up to $20,832 for a higher profile target like a police chief.
The Juarez drug gang keeps its shooters and lookouts on retainer, paying them a small weekly salary until they are needed.
Buying in bulk?
The prices paid in Argentina are between $3,749 to $5,555 per hit.

Government statistics in Spain state that 40 assassinations take place each year, with prices for the hit ranging between $27 to $69,000.
