I have an oppertunity to pick up a D80 body alone for $325, I'm looking for an extra camera that either I or my wife can use so we can explore photography together. I like the fact that the D80 has the focusing motor built into to body (feat. my D3000 doesn't have) but I would like opinions from expierianced photographers so I don't throw money out the window. Also is if it worth looking at, what are some things to look at when checking over the camera?
 
Most sell on ebay for $350-$400.

$325 is a good deal, and it's a very good camera for the $. The image sensor is, for all intensive purposes, the same one in your D3000, only the body it has an AF motor, better exterior controls, and more features. Hint: give your wife the D3000 and use the D80 yourself. ;)
 
300-350 is average for a D80, however look into how much life the shutter still has... I am not 100% sure but I believe the D80 shutter life is around 50k, maybe a little more.
