It may be advisable to check it's actually usable first.

The PU-coating on the outer tent fabric can decay if the tent has been store rolled up for a long time. To start with the coating will go sticky so you have to spend a while peeling the fabric apart before you can pitch the tent. I had to scrap an old TN Quasar because of this coating decay.
