Default Does this part look new? OEM? $165 on Ebay 48610-59135

I have never bought these control arms before, but the front mains I got from Impex Japan had the part number sticker on them. I wonder, where is the sticker? Is it okay that the rubber looks like it has had use? Seller had great feedback rating, but why was this one was $160. A couple of the edges are really sharp. Sometimes that means low quality. Trying to collect the whole OEM set.
Thanks!

It looks new to me, but there seems to be a crack in the bushing. Am I imaging it?

It looks like the cracks may be in a coating on the bushing. It does not look like the bushing itself is cracking from what I can tell.

On further inspection, there is a wax over the bushing. I took it to the Toyota parts dept. today and he leaned towards it being legit and new, but I kinda feel like he was guessing too. Maybe I will just make sure any OEM parts I buy on Ebay going forward have the parts number sticker on them. At least that is something. 100% feedback is another, which this seller had.

It looks very similar to OEM arms I got with bushing coating and some blueish fluid sprayed inside the bushing metal guide.
