You'd be able to tell if the gecko's male, because of the VERY OBVIOUS hemipenile bulge just under the base of the tail (really, it *looks* sorta like they've got ...um... balls). If it's an adult gecko with an SVL of at least 4 or 5 inches and there's NO obvious bulge, then I'd almost guarantee it's female. And $80 for an adult female (particularly if her coloration is nice) is a DAMN GOOD PRICE. Adult females commonly go for around $100-$150 (that I've seen at shows).
Unfortunately, the tail won't ever regrow. It might affect her climbing ability some and I don't know if I'd ever breed her. BUT, if she's in good shape, active and eating well, I'd go for it.
