Yes, he wrote that he will offer bare pcb, but since i was in the shop nearly right after the start and it was "sold out" i think he wont will sell them from the start.
But then why list them at the launch under the label "Sold Out".
I think you might be underestimating the buying power of a few select members of this forum. There were a few people on here that purchased full 10,000 chip orders before zefir purchased his first batch, which have already shipped out. They need a lot of PCBs for their chips and I can see even just one of these buyers taking 1,000 boards or more in one order. Paid for in bitcoins of course. Im sure burnin himself will let us know what happened to the PCBs soon.
