Well, new they go for about 1600 dollars so if it's in good shape I'd say it's a bargain.

Make SURE it is fully compatable with your camera! Or, be prepared to 'deal with' those incompatabilities.

I've used a 80-400 VR a bit, have thought of buying one before.
There is some rattle when extended, you might watch out for misalignment of elements. The tube has some wiggle.

I've know 2 guys that had em and they hated them. They were soft and slow to focus.

I can't recommend one until I talk to the guys that I know who shoot Nikon. I'm sure other on UHH that use Nikon can chime it. But I know at least 2 maybe 3 guys that didn't like it.
