Yeah, as much as you can tell from the small pics, they look fine.
Check for lots radial scratching on the braking surface. This is a sign that an owner used them as well as some alu training wheels on the same bike. Without swapping brake pads, with each wheel change.
Bits of metal get stuck in the brake pad while using the alu wheels. Which then scratch the carbon surface. Aparantly this scratching accelerates wear quite notibly.
