Here's a wish of debatable value. No value, really, but slightly easier to click on.

You know the pull-down list where we can pick "private", "available for trade" or "show but not ready"?

Could those be replaced by two side-by-side buttons ?

There could be three radio buttons ( HIDE, SHOW & TRADE )
(SHOW makes it Unavailable.
I think HIDE should also make it unavailable.
TRADE also makes it visible.)

Or just two buttons, each set to TOGGLE the state of either the readiness or visibility.
I would put the current state to the left:
{Is Available} or
{Is Unavailable} or
{Is Private} (and hence also unavailable)

Default State is UNavailable and visible, so the toggle-button labels would be:
{Is Unavailable} - - [ Show READY to Trade ] and [ HIDE ]

Say they click on READY. Now the buttons have these labels:
{Is Available} - - [ Make this Unavailable] and [ HIDE ]

Once they click on HIDE, the button labels become:
{Is Private} - - [ Show READY to Trade ] and [ Make Visible but Unavailable ]

I think the functionality would be identical to what you have, but one fewer click and the buttons and text could be larger than the pull-down controls.
