I love the beatles and thinking that beatles were from ’62-’70 the albums would be widely distributed and cheap to find on LP. It turns out they are around $30 used! These were hit albums why are they so much?
Well…On march 4th, 1966 and interview with john lennon was released in the London Evening Standard, in which he said,
"Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn’t argue with that; I’m right and I will be proved right. We’re more popular than Jesus now; I don’t know which will go first – rock ‘n’ roll or Christianity. Jesus was all right but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It’s them twisting it that ruins it for me."
eventually, this was used as a cover story for an american teen magazine and people were FURIOUS. There were bonfires of beatles records, posters, anything beatles. so, and i don’t know any percents or statistics of this but that is one of the main causes. i think however a video will best describe this incident:

The other reason i think is because they were HUGELY FAMOUS and very talented musicians so people don’t want to sell their beatles records to just anyone for any price. But seriously, check out the video.
hope this helps!
