Pound shop tried some out (9)
I believe the answer is:
dimestore
'pound shop' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'tried some out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'tried'+'some'='triedsome'
'triedsome' anagrammed gives 'DIMESTORE'.
