Seller sent me a picture of the headstock with this chip on it. I’m just curious if this can be repaired anybody have any thoughts?

Any finish problem can be repaired, though the question is if you’d really want to bother. It could be touched up and be unnoticeable for all but close inspection. If the seller is knocking off cost for it, I wouldn’t be concerned. A real, completely undetectable fix would require a bit more expert estimate than mine!
 
StewMac sells black superglue (medium viscosity) or "Fill n' Finish" if you want to take the time to drop fill, sand and polish. Everyone else sells black sharpies for a quicker solution.

That's an easy fill, just be careful with sanding on curves and points.

I’d go with this suggestion.
 
As Greywolf says, it's a very easy fix. Because it's located on a small edge, a good repair, color matched and leveled with the other paint and polished, should be virtually invisible.
