Found a S&W model 10-5 pencil barrel. Excellent bluing. Grip checkering is excellent. Slight turn ring on the cylinder. What dates was the 10-5 produced? Asking $560.

1962 to 1977. The dash 5 was replaced by the -7 in 1977.

$560 is probably not out of line for what you describe, even though it sounds high to me. I guess the days when you could get one for 2 or 3 hundred are gone.
It's an old story: if you have the time to hunt for an extended period, you can probably find a similar one for less. If you don't want to invest the time and effort, then buy that one.

In 1990, the year I retired as a LEO, I swore I would never pay over $100 for any used gun! That was not un-realistic at the time. How things change.

Pic would help but unless it is exceptionally nice the "asking" price is about $100 too high in my opinion. Look at it as a place to start negotiating.
There are two at Cabelas near me right now. One blue, one nickel. $569 and $599.

I picked up an unfired 10-5 this morning at a local gun show for $550. The original magna stocks have been replaced with target stocks. I feel like I got it at a great price for the condition of the gun.

and with taxes and transfer fees? I say keep looking
Correct. Although Cabelas will ship to any of their stores for free. But I was merely giving OP a point of reference for price.

Just before the Covid panic, I paid $305 OTD for a perfect 10-5 6" (No box, papers, or tools). I feel that is the last of my "Deals from the olden days".
BTW, best shooting S&W I've had out of around 60!!

Best deal I have got on a M10-5 was on, believe it or not, Gunbroker. $405 plus $25 dollars shipping. Little over three years ago. This M10-5 was made in1976-77 and was in very good condition. Wrong stocks, but after a refinish they look great on it.

My nickel 1979 10-7 4” that I bought for $300 at a regional gun show eight years ago. Seller had $400 on it but took $300 cash. I carried one like it as a LEO in the 1970s. (Prior to the department replacing all nickel 5” I carried one of those also.) I would have paid more as I had been looking for a nice 1970s nickel Model 10 4” for several years. Per SCSW 4th nickel is worth premium on Model 10.

$100 in 1990 was the equivalent of about $250 today. I don't remember buying too many guns for $100 in my youth.

I paid $399 for a good shooter grade with holster wear 1956 M&P. My 64-5 was $449.
Pawnshop had a 64-3 for only $749. Cabela's had a 10-2 that looked like it had been recovered from the Titanic for $649. It had more rust than my buddies 74 C-10 Chevy. In my area $560 isn't great but not a rip-off. Both guns I mentioned sold fairly quick too. SMH on that
