After three months of painful waiting I finally conceding to being screwed on a previous sale for these two games. Shop deleted, no communication, etc. I guess it happens, but during my April PC-Engine buying spree these were literally the two games I was looking forward to the most.
Since these are fairly common I figure I'd put a call out here for them, if anybody can offer these to me for a fair price (and hopefully from the US for cheaper/safer shipping). I've seen them go fairly low on eBay, but I don't know if I want to wait for them to pop up again for low start price and dealing with bidding (and all of the BIN prices are insane).
Oh yes, I'm looking for complete and in fairly good condition.
Ys IV: The Dawn of Ys
BIN for $17 bucks total, shipping included! Seller has 99.8% feedback rating, don't see the problem. I've purchased many things from China, shipping time was 10-12 days, only one bad case of 30 days.

So, there ya go! Grab needed English patches from http://ys4.ysutopia.net/#downloads (http://ys4.ysutopia.net/#downloads) and you're all set.
EDIT: His $20 one is probably in better condition. Same seller offering 2 copies:

FYI, Dungeon Explorer II is not common at all. Many of us are still looking to get a copy, and when it does sell it's been pretty pricey.
He's looking for the PCE version, which is neither rare or pricey.
My bad, I guess you're right. I hop between the boards here so much I didn't even consider that.
