The areas of damage at least don't look like the normal areas you get neck/headstock breaks on a LP. Could the area at the back of the neck be from a player using a chunky thumb ring? At least that would be superficial.
Neck joint has lost its original strength I'd say. Like you state, it has suffered from some nasty impact.
Neck finish been exposed to something sharp in the same place over multiple times. May have rested or hung into an abrasive stand? Appears to be superficial.
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.
This is the guitar here. it's a good price, but just nervous about the neck joint. I have got a set of pickups that I can put in it and I think I have got a wiring harness to put in it too.

I bought it, but just organising with the seller if we'll go ahead with the sale. We weren't sure about the situation with the neck joint.
You need side on photos. If the crack looks the same right up the side, run.
Or offer $400
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

From someone who bought a dodgy neck LP this year on TM and spent $900 getting it repaired! I’d say try and get some more pics to make a proper educated decision.
I'd rather like one of those, give you $450 Danny?
