    If it really has to be done tomorow, I guess you could try Home Depot for some labor in the morning?

    Don't know anyone who can muscle it up? Moving straps can make things a lot easier.

    call a local mover place. Tell them they don't need to use their truck to transport it anywhere, and see what price they give you. When I moved last time it was $200 to get 3 guys to haul the heavy things that I could not carry myself...it would most likely be a lot less to move one item...maybe $50 to make it worth their while but it's better than hurting yourself moving it.

    Going along the ground it is easy to put a rug under it and pull the rug, going up and down stair you could use a HAND%20TROLLEY_611.jpg with someone else to hold it

    First, your location is a lie. But second, maybe you could try moving it yourself and waiting til some neighbors passed by. You could ask if they could help out, or just make a sign and put it on the dresser or offer em 25 bucks for a quick moving job?

    thanks for the quick replies

    we found a couple of big dudes to move it for a good price, they used a dolly and knew what they were doing. the thing must've weighed over 300 lbs i cant believe how they managed.

    im visiting my gf so yeah my location atm is a lie :P
