New tales are bargain (5)
I believe the answer is:
steal
'are bargain' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'new tales' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates an anagram.
'tales' is an anagram of 'STEAL'.
(Other definitions for steal that I've seen before include "bargain?" , "Make off with" , "Pilfer" , "Take illegally" , "Snatch" .)
