I was looking to sell a couple of bitcoins.

On localbitcoins, I see several individuals who are apparently in the business of buying AND selling bitcoins.

And yet, they buy at ABOVE the market rate. For example, right now BTC trades at 652.62, but bitcoinofamerica wants to buy at 666.78.

Does that contradict no-arbitrage market laws? Is there anything suspicious about this user?

Some people don't want to provide their personal details to buy bitcoins or in their country, they can't buy bitcoins directly. So they may buy from people with little extra charges but if you suspect them they don't ever deal with any reversible payment processor to exchange bitcoins. It is quite common buying bitcoins slightly higher than the market price.

What the last poster said or they are advertising at one price and once you get down to the details they change their rates.
