Need Help Moving a Couch

Hey all. Long time listener, first time caller....

Anyway, I'm off from work this week and I have a bad back. I'm looking for two people to carry my couch out of my apartment and put on the curb for pick-up (or take away).

I live in a fourth-floor walk up in North Slope on 8th Ave. As I mentioned, I have no way to carry this down myself and no one to help out, I'm looking for two people to help me. It's a six foot couch and should take less than five to ten minutes for two able-bodied people to carry it down.

If there are any students looking to make a quick buck (I'll pay $20 each), please let me know. I'm looking to have it carried down later this week.

PM me if you're interested.

Cheers!

    Oh. Forgot to mention the money is for anyone, not just students, looking to help me out.

    Thanks.

    You should sell it or give it away on Craigslist. Then you can get someone to take it downstairs for free.

    Or give it away on the Brooklyn Freecycle site

    hey you helpful people, cut it out! I just pm'd her/him to get it for my friend's non-profit. IF it's been living without a dog and a can of whatever that is sleeping on it, that is . . .
    (ahem)

    Got a photo, architect? :D

    Ok. In response to the PMs and the previous posts:

    I am a total recycler, but the couch is full of cat hair and I'm a happy ex-smoker, so I figured this couch is not acceptable to most 'Slopers.

    It's a nice (expensive, yet ugly) couch I got from my parent's neighbors a few years ago (it's less than ten years old), the cat hair the the two plus years of smoke might make it undesirable.

    From what I read in that book about garbage written back a Park Slope native, the couch would get recycled even if I left it for NYCDOS to pick up.

    But, anyone wanting is can have it for free. Just walk it down the four flights of stairs.

    Maybe it just needs a good vacuuming and some Febreezeâ„¢.

    I'm a young dude, BTW. (Pitu said she/he... just clarifying).

    My digi-cam is on my desk at work. Will grab it tomorrow and take a photo...

    It's a lovely yet fugly floral print. Totally too big for my studio and certainly too floral for my bachelor lifestyle.

    Have you used this service? If so, what was your experience? Did you give or get?

    I'd move a sofa for $20.00, but I'm afraid of getting a bad back.

    A friend of mine bought a brownstone last year and used Brooklyn FreeCycle to recycle some unused ceramic tiles that came with the house, et al.

    I've heard good things about 'them'. I just didn't think to post there about my couch/sofa.
