I have a very conveniently sized, but gently used Yellowstone 4 for sale:
Kelty Yellowstone 4
Sells for $145, asking $80, shipped
This tent is great shape. Though it's been used about 20 times, it shows no sign of wear & tear. It set's up fast and easy, with color-coded features, does not require staking, and is a very convenient size for two people and a dog. I think it's a bit optimistic to get 4 people in this tent! Very compact when stowed, but it's not a light weight backpacking tent. It makes a great car camping tent if storage size is constrained. It is a 3 season tent only, with fiberglass shock-corded poles. It is structurally sound up to about 45-50mph winds, then it starts to lean windward, as was discovered at Overland Expo 2009 :-)

Tent comes with storage bag, tent, fly, poles, original stakes, and footprint is included. There is a possibility that it's missing one or two stakes. I never used them, so I'm not sure (I always use these (http://www.rei.com/product/682543?preferredSku=6825430017&cm_mmc=cse_froogle-_-datafeed-_-product-_-6825430017&mr:trackingCode=0384071B-81F9-DE11-BAE3-0019B9C043EB&mr:referralID=NA), not included!)
