No that doesn't look alright to me also. It looks like it is on the bottom of the base circle which is good news. Is is just a discoloration or can you feel a difference in the surface?

If you can feel it, it's phucked. There's no reason something like that would be anywhere but on the lift part of the lobe.

was the car parked for a prolonged period of time? The pic is a little hard to see. is it on the toe of the cam lobe as well as the others. Also as mentioned above is the surface texture the same?

That's some shady stuff right there. He should refund ALL the money, especially with the cam being in that shape.
