Measure voltage at the starter (from the big wire terminal to starter frame ground) while someone turns the key to try to start. If the starter clicks but doesn't turn, and the voltage stays up around 11-12 volts, the starter is bad. Also before buying a new starter, check that the engine is not seized.
