How much would you tolerate for carpet labor?

[Andrey Y.]

Hello everyone, hope everyone is having an awesome Friday. What would you expect the labor costs to run on ~600 sq.ft. of carpet. Carpet needs replacement on a unit just closed and recorded today. The guy is coming tomorrow to measure out the place, then he will give me a labor estimate (which I can accept or go with someone else). The work is a living area and two small-medium bedrooms, no stairs. Would anyone attempt this themselves? I was thinking less than $1/sq.ft. limit installed by a carpet guy, but I had a "handyman" quote me $300 for the 600 sq.ft. Cheers.
