The thing to remember is that professional movers are not only concerned about damage to the furniture, but also damage to the walls and floors of the home during the move. This results in their liability insurance being high, the cost of which is passed onto you, the client.
The price range you've gotten for professional movers sounds about right. With furniture so expensive these days, I would think it would be worth it to spend $250 to hang onto a decent bedroom set as opposed to buying all new (possibly inferior) stuff, wouldn't it?
