The Yalkut Yosef 246:55 says:

וכן אסור למכור לגוי ספרי קודש, כמו תנ''ך וכדומה

Besikum: you can't sell holy books to gentiles.

What about online sales? Must you ask the buyer via email if he is Jewish?

CYLOR!!!

Does sifre kodesh mean sifre tora, mezuzot, etc. or printed books like chumashim, mishneh tora, igrot Moshe, etc.? – Baal Shemot Tovot Apr 15 '12 at 15:29
What's with the 'cylor' thing? – Yaakov Kuperman Apr 15 '12 at 15:56
