I need a nine foot billiard table moved out of my basement. It has a 3 piece slate top. Cost to do this?

I am concerned that it will break the wooden stairs if movers try to carry it up. It was in the house when I bought it, and I don't know how they got it down there. So far, no mover wants to even try.

Update:

It is already taken apart. Nobody wants to move it--not even companies that specialize in moving pool tables and assembling them. I think the stairway was removed to get it down to the basement, and I don't want to pay to have that done. I'd just as soon have the slate cut up in pieces and just throw it out, but the previous owner's estate wants the thing. I don't want my house damaged for something I don't want or need. They should have done this before I bought the house.

    They brought it on there in pieces. SO they would have to take it outa there in pieces. Im sure this isnt going to be cheap. But im not sure of exactly how much.

    Bumpers unbolt. Cloth strips loose. Slate is bolted to the frame in 3 seperate pieces. Unbolt slate, knock down frame, move as parts.

    Easy if you've done it. Call a billiard supply company; they probably have someone who can give you a price for knocking it down and putting it back up. Move should be easy; just make sure the slate is marked with a line so you can put the pieces back in the right places.
