'one offering bargain' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'basement we hear' is the wordplay.
'basement' becomes 'cellar' (basement room).
'we hear' shows a homophone (sound like).
'cellar' sounds like 'SELLER'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for seller that I've seen before include "Trader" , "Person making sale" , "One who disposes of" , "Resell to vendor" .)
