It looks like the right piece to me, but I'm not an expert. How much is he asking?

 

[BTKai]

yeah at the first glance it looks like genuine item! and he's asking 100 dollars shipped to my door!

That's not bad, sadly I don't know of a way to confirm if it's genuine. It's cheaper than brand new or and upgraded one so if you don't need anything more than stock I'd say go for it.

I did a search and came up with this...

The pulley in the link is just like the one you posted and it should fit ...

It's probably a genuine. Unlikely to be a knock-off. Some Chinese companies have copied even the label and the packing but MD376608 is a really old part number and many things were still made in Japan at that time, so around that era there were no knock-offs in the market. You can go if the price is important and if the glue is still working fine. But it's a very old NOS and it utilizes glue. If the budget allows you or if you don't want to take a risk, then maybe it's better/safer to go with a new from an official vendor or maybe a Fluidampr.

I bought one this past summer and it looked identical to that one but mine just came in a bag. Seller said it was oem

It looks identical to the stock pulley I have..I would ask for better pictures of where the rubber meets the pulley like said above it is a fairly old NOS and if it was me I would ? the integrity of the old adhesive and rubber. But it does look in good shape from what you can see. Just my .02¢, Jason Penny

I'm running a new, but parts store, balancer on mine and at 60.00 it is holding up. I DO keep an eye on it tho.
