Crossword Genius

Sale that sounds weird to some? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bazaar

'sale' is the definition.
(bazaar is a kind of sale)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for bazaar that I've seen before include "Souk" , "Middle East market - fundraising event" , "exchange ..." , "foreign market" , "Street of small shops in the Orient" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
