Trying to get a piano moved - help!

[Katherine Brengle]

I was offered a FREE antique upright piano through Freecycle, and I'm trying to find out the cost of moving it so I can give an answer to the person who offered it.

Anyone have any idea how much it might cost? It's pretty heavy (probably close to 800 lbs).

I put in for a couple of quotes from movers, but I'm antsy.

(We're in a 2nd floor apartment and they'd likely have to hoist it up to the deck and then come in the second floor door. Alternatively, I could have it moved to a family member's ground level single family house if hoisting is too expensive.)
