With the right equipment of course!
This weekend I sold a large (14ishx16ish ft) shed, and the buyer hired this team to move the shed. They had a forklift of sorts, wheels to put under the shed to roll it around, and rollers on the trailer to slide the shed up. They were at my house for a total of about 45 minutes to move the shed from the backyard to the street, and then to load it up on the trailer. Very impressive.
My father made me move his 10 x 20 shed when I was a teen. It sat on 4 x 4 runners and I had to move it sideways from one side of the yard to the other. I jacked up the front, pushed it hard to move it 6" or so, then set it down and repeated the process at the rear. Repeated that over and over until the shed was 15' away from where I began.

When I bought my shed, the price included one future move.
We did a 12x18 last winter. Used a tractor and a tilt bed trailer and a lot of careful, highly dangerous lifting.
Doesn't everyone have a shed moving trailer?

I am debating doing this in the near future for a 10x12 (which would be easy, except it's a 300 mile trip across state lines)...

I was gonna suggest fire.
In reply to SVreX :
It's probably only 7'-8' tall though, right? So just tip it on its side & you won't have to worry about the oversized-load stuff.
In reply to Robbie :
If I may be so bold, how much did this cost? I ask because I have seen several for sale that would require a real mover. The cost could make the price of the building not a good deal.

Exactly what I was wondering.
