What's illegal about selling them? Is there an anti-security-consulting-market legislation?

In general what are some risks invovled (I am just not very familiar and wondering in general). Is it a tax issue, the chance IRS could come after you for undeclared income?

Depending on jurisdiction and the particulars of the sale and who you sold it to, I think it's possible you could be charged as an accomplice if the exploit is used in a crime. For example, if you had any reason to believe the individual or organisation you sold it to might use it illegally, and someone singles you out after they do use it illegally, I don't think it would be hard for a prosecutor to make a case. I also don't think under those particular circumstances that's necessarily a bad thing. IANAL though.

Nothing, there are businesses doing it in the US paying taxes on their income.
