Historical option prices for this thinly-traded ticker. Live quotes are wide and stale — use where each contract actually traded plus its 30-day range to place a limit order. 57 contracts (avg 104 vol/day, 57 traded recently)

ESS averages only 104 option contracts/day, so quotes are thin and bid/ask spreads run wide. Use the last actually-traded price below to set a limit order rather than chasing the displayed ask. Most tradeable put: the $270.00 09-18 put last traded $1.70 on 08/19 (now $0.00/$2.05) — try a limit near $1.02.
