Repair Outlook on Neck Break

Hi there, I'm looking for opinions on this guitar with a headstock break that I'm considering buying on eBay. How in-depth would this repair need to be? Would it require splines or a volute – or would a simple glue up and maybe some epoxy to fill be sufficient to fix long term? My brain is (perhaps naively) telling me it's doesn't have to be too crazy and I could do it myself. I have experience gluing up bodies and necks and have fixed minor neck cracks but I don't feel comfortable doing splines or adding a backstrap. If repairs would be more extensive than a glue job, what would the estimated cost be to have it done properly by a pro? Seller is asking $425 to buy – which seems steep, but I'd also be getting all the hardware and pickups included.
