Strange-sounding sale (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bazaar

'sale' is the definition.
(I know that bazaar is a type of sale)

'strange-sounding' is the wordplay.
'strange' becomes 'bizarre' (synonyms).
'sounding' shows a homophone (sound like).
'bizarre' sounds like 'BAZAAR'.

(Other definitions for bazaar that I've seen before include "Where many would shop" , "Souk" , "Street of small shops in the Orient" , "Group of stalls in oriental country" , "Group of shops or stalls, from the Orient" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
