Yes, it's illegal. You are making a profit off of somebody else's music without their consent. You could face up to around 2 or 3 years in prision if you are caught selling Pirated music or movies.

Is it illegal to sell music CDs you download from the internet?

Well, you can't download a real item such as a CD off the Internet, but if you are talking about a music CD file, then: It depends on if that music you downloaded is copyrighted. If what you download is copyrighted, then it was illegal to download that music off the Internet in the first place (unless you bought it from a place like www.last.fm or iTunes Store). If what you bought did have copyright, then it is also illegal to sell that music for profit. But, if what you bought didn't have copyright (called freeware), then it is legal to do so.
