I was getting my LP shape ready for selling on; not been played for a good while, when I noticed this crack on the high E side just below the nut.

Not as much in the Low E side, but a similar crack seeming to start as well (sorry focus is a bit out up close)

Cracks are between nut and 1 st fret
Suggestions for how important etc, and typical cost of fixing
Thanks, hope pics work (I think I’ve edited the link string in the hyperlink, although the texts above)

Any buyer seeing that would be rightly concerned - it's not going to fall apart and probably won't even get any worse by itself, but you will need to disclose it and almost certainly discount the price, if you don't want to have it fixed first.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news...

Selling as is will raise disappointingly little money.
Rectifying the issue to a high/professional standard could easily cost more than the purchase price of the guitar.
It might be possible to run dilute adhesive into the cracks and clamp it up while things bond. Any mess on the finish could be disguised to some extent by matting the the rear of the neck.
Lots of work for limited reward.
