Any tips for moving refrigerators purchased second hand?

[Mindy Jensen]

I'm looking to purchase a refrigerator from Craigslist or similar, to save money. I can DIY a lot of things, but refrigerators are too heavy for me.

How do you move yours? @Jim K.?

@Mindy Jensen if you get the straps where two people can lift it together, it really isn't that heavy or tough, check out forearm forklift moving straps at Home Depot and find a friend.  I was surprised to be able to lift stoves and refrigerators without much difficulty and going downstairs!  

That's how movers move heavy appliances without destroying their knees and backs. 

If not, I would look to hire someone off of craigslist or nextdoor looking to make an extra $50-$75 to move the fridge.
