I've had mine for 8 years and it has survived countless trips. I used this tent as my home when I was a backpacking guide. In all the years, use and abuse that this tent has seen, it still looks brand new.

I've had to sew one small tear in the mesh and that's it.

I have never seam sealed this tent and I won't until I see a need. The fly is waterproof and attaches so taunt that the heavy rains falling on it are like small drumbeats.

In tent years this thing is an old trooper and yet the UV has yet to fade it or degrade it in any way to where it shows any effect.

I doubt you'll find anyone wanting to part with theirs.
