salesroom
Where deals happen
A salesroom is a room or space where goods are displayed and sold, particularly at auction houses or wholesale establishments.
In British English, it often specifically refers to an auction room where bidding takes place.
American usage tends toward showroom for retail displays, but salesroom appears in both contexts.
