I won't say that it's underground, so much as by word of mouth. If I see someone bidding consistently on ADPi items, I will usually email them, asking them if they are ADPis.

I heard about the Guardians from Beth Hamilton, EO VP of Housing (or something similar, I'm just awful at titles!). She's such a lovely lady, and she told me that *** is the sister who has the awesome collection. Beth gets pins for Alphas she knows & loves, and will let *** know if she's bidding, so that *** will opt out.

Just jump in, bid, and if you question someone's status, email them! If they don't answer, or won't step down if you explain that you're after that pin for a specific reason, it's a pretty safe guess that that person isn't an ADPi!

And by all means, if I'm bidding against you, let me know! I would rather that we don't run the price up against each other!
