Unfortunately, they usually do a pretty good job of hiding the obvious tells in their listings. They will typically not show the tips of the ear stems and some of the better ones do have gaskets, The break in the orbital is just at a slightly different angle.

I have not seen as many recently, but they do seem to come in waves…
