Seems appropriate.... enjoy!

VU 4.2 - 28 JAN 2003
Limit amount of items per transfer
The number of items you can transfer in a Trade Terminal is limited to 40. A single stack of items (for example ore or ammunition) counts as one item.

VU 4.3 - 4 MAR 2003
Changes in the Traders’ Stock
The trade terminal will no longer sell weapon attachments, clothes or blueprints. The new place to find blueprints and books is on the Technician Trader. The number of Fast Aid Packs available will drop to the FAP-5 only. The rest will be removed from the stock entirely.

VU 5.1 - 13 JUN 2003
Change of stock in the Trade Terminal
The Trade Terminal will have new weapons available, the Omegaton M2200 and the Sollomate Busho.

VU 5.4 - 17 DEC 2003
Blueprint acquiring
The chance of getting a new blueprint while manufacturing is enhanced. The chance of getting a blueprint that can be bought from the Trade Terminal is removed.

VU 5.5 - 17 FEB 2004
New PvP Zone with avatar looting presented
The trade terminals supply an anti-toxic shot that allows human to travel within the contaminated zone. The shot is in effect until the avatar is killed in the zone. If killed outside the zone, the shot still stays in effect. If an avatar is killed in the zone, he or she is instantly transported away from the zone to the last resurrection point or to Port Atlantis, if no such point exists. Even the ghosts fear the toxic area.

VU 5.6 - 5 MAR 2004
Project Entropia Gold Member Smartcard Security System
The Project Entropia Gold Member security system goes live with VU 5.6. Those who have acquired the Smartcard and Reader (through the Trade Terminal Real Life Items section) should receive the equipment during April, to the address supplied with the Project Entropia account. If you need to update the info, please do it as soon as possible through the Project Entropia Support Section.

VU 5.7 (Miniupdate) - 7 JUN 2004
Removed Storage boxes and Orange paint from the Trade Terminal. Boxes will be made craftable in a few weeks, and paints will be found as loot to a greater degree than before.

VU 6.1 - 6 OCT 2004
Ammo in Trade Terminal
Updated the max ammo stack size in the Trade Terminal to 10,000 shots per unit.

VU 7.7 - 1 NOV 2005
Trade Terminals restocked
The weapon supply in the Trade Terminal replaced with newer and better counterparts.

VU 8.4 - 29 MAY 2006
Gold & ATM Cards
The Entropia Universe Gold Card and Entropia Universe ATM Withdrawal Card are now available and may be ordered from your local Trade Terminal.

VU 8.6 - 18 SEP 2006
Trade Terminal
Items bought from the Trade Terminals are no longer automatically stacked.

VU 8.11 - 20 MAR 2007
New Items
A range of new items have been added including a new TT Medical Kit and new TT Mining Tools.

VU 9.0 - 9 OCT 2007
Trade Terminal
The Trade Terminal interface has been redesigned. Improvements include:
- "Buy" and "Sell" are now two separate transactions.
- Unique amounts of ammunition/bombs/probes can be instantly bought, for example 87 probes or 3049 Medium Weapon Cells.
- A "Confirm Transaction" panel has been introduced listing all items being sold to the Trade Terminal. Items mistakenly sold to the Trade Terminal will no longer be replaced by the Support Dept.

VU 9.0.3 - 23 OCT 2007
The Buy and Sell buttons exchanged in Trade terminal.
After a short stint of sales, the TT once again sell the Castorian Combat EnBlade-1 instead of the EnBlade-A.

I would greatly appreciate if some of the old-timers would comment about the items that were once sold in the TT, how the value of those items changed when the items were removed from the TT, etc...

I always ask something like that, but hardly anyone does it. Does anyone like these..? :laugh:
 
Nice work i love nostalgia like this.
 
Another Excellent post, Jade! ahhhh, those were the days....


darri
:silly2:
 
I never knew orange paint was available in the TT, interesting...

VU 9.0.3 - 23 OCT 2007
The Buy and Sell buttons exchanged in Trade terminal.
After a short stint of sales, the TT once again sell the Castorian Combat EnBlade-1 instead of the EnBlade-A.

Should be the other way round. The EnBlade-1 was in the TT for a short while after the VU, but this was fixed and it returned to being the EnBlade-A again with this patch update.

Probably MA's typo, not yours :)

Does anyone like these?

Yes!
 
Another change I can think of (not documented in the release notes iirc) is that the TT colourator was removed in 9.0.
 
2 things..

Colorator and Cloths. Both got quite the high markup today.

VU 8.1.1
I guessing you mean the FAP-5 replaced by Vivo T1 pokeball? :p
