: The thing I don't understand is that it must be

No, you are massively overthinking this. He is simply buying them from Omega for £15 and reselling them for £50-70.
: If you can confirm that the seller you talk of

: then my brother has said he will take steps

For what? Doesn't look like he is doing anything illegal. He's simply making a profit off other people's lack of knowledge that the book is available cheaper elsewhere. Where are there laws that prevent someone from selling an item for more than what someone else does? That's simple business. Sure, it is raw profiteering, but that itself is not illegal.
Face it, you guys simply made a poor choice and paid way too much because you didn't do your homework.
I don't agree with the morality of this guy blatantly profiteering of buying readily-available books and reselling them as 'rare.' But I also cannot agree that you overpaying was the seller's responsibility -- it was entirely your choice to take the risk of not validating the value or checking availability and price from other sources before paying the price you did.
