The entire hanging platform costs $27,000 to build, and a fresh rope is used for every victim. The platform can last for around a few hundred thousand victims.

It really depends on how many people you are killing actually. I would say beheading is still the cheapest, a meat cleaver costs $14 last time I went to the supermarket.
27k? must be a military contract.

the kind of blades use in beheading is usually a large Ax or a chinese Dao. A well made one probably cost 500-700 hundred dollars.
