Again:
Eric, could you please verify and tell us when you have actually shipped the items?
(or maybe some shipping info for tracing)

Dammed, I was too patient and waited - and now the 45 days of paypal returns have passed.
I actually do want the items - and not just the money back! But that would be a gesture of good will.
At least a public declaration why the shippings never happened would be helpful. Since Eric is a real person, he has posted here and somebody have dealt with him successfully, I suppose. Or did we pay the money into a stolen account?

I have done deals with Eric - sold him modules for which he had paid in advance with PayPal, as well as received some MiniRef boards and shunt regulators from him earlier (not this GB/giveaway).
He does tend to go incommunicado for weeks to months on occasion, and has also changed addresses at least once. However, I believe his shaky financial situation is mostly due to an old personal/relationship issue, and also probably because house rentals in Seoul are horrendously expensive.
I continue to wish him well on his planned entrepreneurial venture, and I am not charging anything for his use of my MiniRef 1875 IP - topology, schematic, layout, etc., which I posted earlier on the chipamps forum and which will continue to be free to use as long as all name credits on the board layout are retained essentially the same in the MiniRef 1875 as well as derivative works in the future (the same terms apply to everybody).

You're probably right linuxguru.
Somehow, I can't understand why he was here this morning and don't post...
I hope it will be solved soonly.

ok i think we're screwed guys,i can't believe a person will ruin his reputation for just a couple of bucks.
we're so considerate that we are just asking for an explanation why the items is not yet shipped, maybe his cat ran away and he tries to look for it that's why he forgot to ship the items.

Eric! Your last activity was a few days ago here in this forum!
Why do you not try to give at least some kind of information about this until now quite unsuccessful GB? Everybody has shown great patience here.

That's the question... 🙄
Come on Eric, tell us what's going on 😕

ok who among you guys received their pcb's?
I am not expecting for it to arrive but maybe we should do something about it, these kind of guys ruin the reputation of the diy community.

I haven't received any, but there is little we can do apart from hope he does the right thing. Eric, if you cant send for some reason, then the right thing to do is come clean and offer everyone a refund.
Tangentially connected (though I have nothing to with PreSapian's GB that he didn't deliver on, except that he did ask my permission to use my v1.02 layout, posted at the chipamp forum):
I have finished and tested a respin of the MiniRef 1875 board, now at V1.04. The main improvement is the use of an active series-shunt regulator for the +/- 12V rails, which are now +/- 12.7V. It has also been tested functional with the TDA2050. It is aimed at low-rail 2-channel bookshelf applications, so the PSU caps have also been downsized (modest-value 25 and 35V caps should be fine). Here's the posting with a pic of the populated prototype v1.04 board:

I have some v1.04 boards from the initial run left, and I can order additional ones if there's sufficient interest in a GB. Boards will be $12 each + $5 shipping up to 250 gms. A run of 20 boards is the minimum viable quantity, but there's a possibility of a price break if the quantity crosses 40.
Please indicate your interest with the quantity desired, and I'll make a call on whether to proceed after 2 weeks. Until then, boards will be available from the prototype run on a first-come, first-served basis.
