Yep indeed...,
Support: +1.

Another "Option" maybe would be, when we receive a Trade with Items, if going into 'Edit' Mode could display some "[1/2]" / "[1/3]" etc for example to be able to "quickly" check that our Trading Partner has "indeed" only selected Items on our Side that we have at least x2...
And if we see a "1/1", then we can "really" edit the Trade to remove that Item as we only x1 of it as we want to keep it...

In the same "Spirit", having one Setting like "Only offer on Items I have more than 1 of", with the Counter automatically decrementing by 1 the total Number would also achieve the same Result...
(But that Setting should also be visible to our Trading Partner (from our Trade Rules maybe), or they won't know if they have to select Items we have at least x2 of, or if "all" Items "visible" are (probably) available for Trades...)

One "Workaround" I use to "lock" Items, (for 'Animal Eggs' for example), is to place the Items on a Pet, then (I think...?) they are "locked" and not "visible" in Trades for other Players...
This way, you can also group and display them all together on one or several Pet(s) in just one Pet Group...
If you want to "test" for yourself, you can see in
this Group that I have x13 'A_Egg 85' (the 'Green Bat' Item on the 'Green Bat' Pet(s) from 'Halloween 2019'), but if you try to offer me a Trade on that same 'A_Egg 85' ('Sets' => 'Easter Animal Eggs'), you should only see x1 from the Items you can select on my Side, as I have apparently x14 in Total, but I only leave x1 available for Trades...
Another Example: I have only x1 'A_Egg 92' (used on a Pet in the same Group), and you shouldn't see that Item at all from a Trade...
(I'm not trying to get some Trades, ah-ah...!, just demonstrating the "Principle"...)
It's a bit "tedious" if you want to do that on "many-many" Items, I do it myself mostly only with 'Animal Eggs' and some '
Plushies' also... But that's the "Workaround" I use, ... and it's Fun actually...!
