What is with the discrepancy on book prices on rare/used book sites? [View all]

I have a number of books (30+ years old) and I am curious about their value. Old reference books from grad school, for example. On these sites there will be some sellers pricing them at $150, others $20 -- seemingly same type, similar condition, etc. If there are 30 books available, do they really think someone will pay the high price for the book?
I'm familiar with old/rare book designations regarding first edition, condition, etc. -- when that is not in play, what's with the range?
