Hope that someone wants it and will haul it away. If it's a 5 or 6 foot tub it can be valuable, the standard 5 1/2 foot not so much. A full set of feet can be of value by themselves.
Depending on the room outside of the bath, removing the feet, turning the tub on it's side and also on end if a tight space can enable the moving. One the most important needs is at least four young STRONG men.
