Question:

Would you hoist a sofa down two stories?

We need to get rid of a nice large sofa that's only two years old. The sofa is so large that our movers hoisted it up to the third floor rear porch using moving straps.

Answer:

Even if you get someone to take this for free, there's going to be potential liability involved if it falls and injures someone coming down. I doubt this used couch has enough value left to make this worthwhile. I'd be inclined to do like you say - dismantle it in pieces, and carry it to the dumpster.
you could try calling local churches to see if they would be interested in it for a needy family. they would probably pay someone to move it.
