Sorry, I can't sift through Ebay for you, but that's where you will want to look. Also you could put a wanted ad on Craigslist. There's probably somebody with an 8 person tent that they bought for one camping trip and are ready to sell off.
Otherwise, here is a great deal on an okay starter tent. It has a bunch of good reviews, just bring a tarp with!

Answer
My main concerns when buying a tent during my tent camping years (25+) were:
1) Enough room- Usually 6-8 people means 4 comfortably by the time everyone gets a sleeping bag, over night bag and a pillow in them along with leaving a place inside for shoes by the tent. If you cut the max number of people in half, that generally is what the tent will support comfortably with everyone having a little room to throw a bag on the floor and not have to sleep with it.
2) Ease of setup- I always went with the breakdown-shock corded poles because those were so much easier to set up other than the metal tent poles and guidelines staked all over the place. Often if there is not going to be a lot of wind, the weight of sleeping bags and clothes bags inside the tent was enough we didn't even stale downt he tent. Windy days means put a stake in each corner at least.
3) Enough windows- If your going to be using the tent in the summer at all, you will want enough windows that you can get good cross breeze moving through the tent to cool it off at night. Very important.
4) Good rainfly- a rainfly that actually covers the majority of the tent and especially the entrance is nice. Some tents even have a little porch covering on the front which can help keep the entrance area a little drier.
