pick up mattress in NYC , bring to West part of Nassau County (Chelsea (NYC) --> Freeport (L.I.)) (Let's go to the mattresses!)

This is for matress delivery. You would have the option of dong it either Friday night or Saturday daytime.
Deliver mattress/boxspring to Freeport, L.I. It's in Chelsea (Manhattan)now.

approx 30 mi.

You would have to:

Be affordable 

wrap the mattress in new&clean plastic wrap or plastic sheeting [ I don't want truck dirt on my mattress. I sleep on that in my skivvies you know. ]

Tell me your price. So you know the size, the mattress is not that big. Its only a "full". You will need room for the box spring too.

Price you state has to be all inclusive (i.e. don't ask me extra for the Throgs neck bridge toll.)
Include your phone number so I can reach you. Thank you.

Matt thinks this is tolling: If you have a moving truck/moving company then this isn't too tough but for someone to try to put this together - might be tough. Not sure what affordable includes and I have no clue where the starting point would be from where the truck heads to chelsea to get the mattress for starters. "don't ask me extra for the Throgs neck bridge toll" I think they mean ask for it after a price is agreed on because you want the mattress - there has to be a profit to make it worthwhile for someone to do it for you. So let's say $100-$200 just for the labor, then price of using the truck, all gas and tolls would be in there.. I could see this costing about $300 or so - Am I way too high here (money wise that is)? Maybe it's just me but nowadays people want to make at least $100 for doing these types of jobs min. as just a starting point...or even more. Now if you had a couple of say I don't know...buddies that you can buy dinner and go with them to get it.....ya know what I'm talkin' about -- oh yea, 1 more thing - you sleep in your SKIVVIES, do ya? Do you have a parrot and eye patch as well Cap'n? :)

Small moving job (Not too small if you need to hire people..ay gov'nor?)

Looking for 2 people tomorrow (12/16) to help move bags/boxes, etc... from attic to first floor of home. Approx. 1 hr work.

Compensation: $30 for job ($15 per person)

Matt understands: Okay so perhaps you are a physically small person, an older person and/or you have other physical issues (or maybe you are too busy). You want not just 1 but 2 random people to come to your home to move a bunch of stuff up & down flights of stairs for $15 each? Again it makes me wonder why people wouldn't ask neighbors and/or their kids for some help. Why is someone looking for work on craigslist going to bring their buddy to make $30 total to go up and down stairs carrying who knows what? What I find funniest is the ability to be able to guess the amount of time it would take and I'd love to hear how the price is determined.
Sure people need money and others have fixed incomes but there's a chance you live in a house which means you can afford a house in a major city. 1 hour, 20 minutes or 3 hours - I'd say at least offer $100 - $50 each?
I still think that might be low but it's respectable. But what do I know as I have never timed or priced moving objects - I do know movers and moving companies are not cheap. It really irks me that people go on Craigslist to hire others and think that means they can be cheap about it like those people looking for work must be worthless and desperate?! HEY YOU!
