I paid \ufffd100 to a guy in the UK, more or less on the offchance that he would 
make a better job than I could do (which wouldn't be hard) and in fairness, 
he did have four goes at it, but the problem was that he was interpreting 
what he thought I wanted to achieve, and it wasn't in the slightest bit how 
I wanted the mix to sound. Some parts were too high, he shoved a perfectly 
in tune vocal through a pitch bender to the extent that the singer sounded 
more mangled than Cher, and at the end of it, I had no idea whether he was 
any good or not, but I couldn't use the work he did. 

So, my suggestion to you would be to look for someone who can come and mix 
and master it WITH you. Failing all else stick an advert up in a college, 
music shop or something similar.
