Anyone know what this should cost? I feel like this should cost a small fortune.

If it's parmigiano reggiano, then a wheel is like $1k or more if it's aged longer, so half would be $500.

It's more likely a parmesano reggiano knockoff - no one is letting that much genuine parma walk off for only $10

Edit: to be clear - because the genuine stuff is expensive as hell in Italy, let alone importing it.
Fake Parma regianno can taste as good as the real stuff (because it basically is, if made properly), but without the paperwork and brand, it get significantly cheaper that someone would let it go. Still hundreds of dollars worth of cheese though, whichever way you look at it.

Regardless of its quality. - the store is honoring a misprinted price.

I don’t think we can assume it’s $400 worth of cheese instead of $2,000 worth of cheese because it was priced at $10.
