Hi I am looking for a professional camera for fashion photography and would like a professional camera but I don't have the funds to buy a new one. Is it worth it to buy a 1d Mark II for $500 - $800 dollars or should I buy a new Eos 5d Mark II?

In a controlled lighting environment you'd be fine with a 5D1 and some good glass. I would suggest that route.
 
I just saw the Nikon D7100 but I heard more fashion photographers favor the Canon.

The reason that I suggested that you get a 5D is because it's an inexpensive full frame camera ideal for studio work.

I appreciate it. I think I am going to get the 5D I have done a lot of research on it. Thanks for the help.

Some prefer Canon, some Nikon, and some also like Sony. I would go for the 5D, and some good glass as Tyler says.
 
1D mkll was a great camera, MP isn't very good by today's standards and chances are if it was used by a professional you'll end up having to get parts replaced soon. I tore the shutter curtain in half twice, I had it replaced once. I now have a 1D mkll door stop, it sits next to my 2 1D bodies, in a cardboard box.

Go with something newer.
 
Tyler gave you the best option for your budget.
