A kitchen table&4 chairs, 200 DVDs and DVD racks, 2 TVs, 3 game consoles, a large TV stand, a desktop computer, a computer table, an office chair, a queen sized bed (with boxspring&mattress), 4 bookshelves worth of books, a full set of plates, cups, glasses, utensils etc, assorted crap (5-6 big boxes worth) and a full bureau+closet's worth of clothes.
Total time to move this **** = 3 hours. By myself. Add an hour in to actually drive and rent the truck, cost of truck (~60-70$ IIRC) moving supplies (30$ for boxes, tape) and changing utilities (actually a huge hassle; getting cable took ~4 hours of my time due to **** Comcast service). Maybe 8 hours total, 100$ in direct costs.
I didn't move a couch or an actual bureau. With another man's help that would be ~1 extra hour.

Like I said, I have nearly a metric ton of books alone, and that takes a LONG time to move, especially when you consider I am not exactly a bodybuilder... around 60 boxes of books each weighing between 30 and 50 pounds takes a bit of time to move, plus all the kitchen appliances (If you can think of it, I probably have it) and electronics... trust me, I have moved myself more recently than you have moved me I filled up a 22' truck even WITH throwing some things out that I didn't need last time I moved. And that was 5 years ago... lots more stuff, now.
