One seller might be 100% with 1000 ratings, vs 100% with 1 rating.
Is shipping fixed? If it's variable, it might be a lot cheaper (or local pick-up possible) for some of the bidders on one item versus the other.
The cheaper item may have a poor title or description (mis-spellings), causing some bidders to not find it in the search listings.
Maybe the more expensive item is using all of eBay's listing features to promote their item, and this proves those features actually work!
So, lots of variables and possibilities come to mind without actually seeing the two auctions.
Edit: Also, new eBay bidders are usually stupid...
