Did that ONCE!
The subsequent 3 times were by professionals.
The friendships those saved was well worth the co$t.

Moving apartments/houses not a huge problem. now my buddy with the Graphic Arts buisiness? That is a problem.
The man has a paper cutter made in 1848 - made of flippin' cast iron - nothing like dismantling it then moving the bits - the bolts holding it together weigh about a pound each and don't remind me of the frame....

This.
Plus, unless you're talking literal piles of huge furniture, this isn't even that expensive if you've already moved all the small stuff and all you're hiring them for is to move the couch & bedroom furniture.
The Seldom Killer:
Frankly disappointed in today's comic. Seriously, three educated, intelligent people don't know how to lift a sofa down some stairs.
Alright, not actually disappointed. Amused and also feeling a little superior.
Mind you, feeling superior to fictional characters isn't as fulfilling as one would hope.

Read Douglas Adams' "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency" about how to get a couch up a stairwell! Semi-spoiler: The process is a sub-plot through most of the book.

One of the defining features of your so-called "nice guy" is that everything they do, however altruistic it may seem, is actually driven by selfishness. I have seen nothing of that in Marten. He's almost always looked out for his friends even when there was nothing in it for him.
I saw Marten's comment as mostly a sarcastic dig at Faye. But even if he is bothered whether Dora's seeing someone else that doesn't mean he's fucked in the head. They just broke up. It takes to move on. He has clearly gone a fair way but it's not surprising if he still has feelings for her.
I think Faye was actually a bit rude in her response. Marten had gone to COD to see Dora in person, so he clearly wasn't chickening out. He would have been out of line to tag along with Faye when she went to help Dora move. Why shouldn't he ask Faye to pass on a small greeting?
I wonder if Faye will mention anything to Dora in the next few comics.
