What would you charge to move someone?

[tedanderson]

I'm not in the moving business but if I can use the Safari to make some money, I'll do it.

What's a good price to charge someone to move their furniture if you are going to be with them all day.. say.. roughly 12 hours and you expect to make 6-8 trips between residences? And to add to that, it's a last-minute move. (she's getting put out of her place) This woman isn't exactly a stranger but she's not quite a friend either. She is simply some hot chick that I allowed to string me along back in my "nice guy" days. So the other day she asked for my help (because she thinks I am still that same nice guy). I find it funny how women like that never ask the current, ex, or potential boyfriend.. but they always ask me.

So at first I thought about telling her "No, go find someone else. This isn't my problem." but then on second thought, I could really use the money on what would be a relatively easy move. No steps, no hills, nothing too heavy for the average man.. and on top of that I want compensation for previous years of emotional distress and heartbreak.

So what would be considered a fair price? I'll tack my other punitive damages on the price.

50 an hour.

Just say "No"... it ain't worth the hassle nor the after-effects you may suffer from it. Even nice guys can still say no. I'd be very, very wary.

From one nice guy to another...........tell her you can't........... <-

I used to be a nice guy that couldn't say no. But with age and wisdom I have learned to say no.

[Mr_Bowtie]

Ya, you definatly gotta start sometime and why not now with the hot chick...........this is the ultimate challenge for a nice guy! Why doesn't she have a man?

Cause she ain't such a NICE GIRL...

Ok.. so the consensus suggests that good ol' Regan Era statement. I'll Just Say No... for no amount of money. After thinking about it, it's quite odd that for as many "favors" as she does for guys, she can't get them to reciprocate.

So you should be the bigger guy, help the gal out, and charge 50 an hour.

I would say cover gas, food, beer for when you get home and maybe $100 for the day as long as you have some help

Why doesn't she have a man?

Mr_Bowtie are you suggesting shes single for a reason?

[979roadrunner]

Any 'hot' gal who's single is single for a reason.

If she was my wife.. i did it for free

So today I called the woman and told her I wouldn't be available to do it. When she pressed the issue, I started asking some pointed questions like "Where is the BF? Why can't you hire a professional company? You don't have any other friends?"

I don't think that I'll ever see or hear from her again.

Prolly a good thing... But if you really want to see her again... Just close your eyes.

Actually at this point in time I am kind of indifferent as far as my friendship/relationship etc towards her. I was just trying to gauge whether or not it would be a worthwhile transaction.

Better to find out now... Rather than later. Jim

ANY one-sided relationship is doomed. It doesn't matter which side you're on, it's never a good thing.

Good riddance to bad rubbish!
