Why register as a member ?

Some of the site services are only accessible to ABCollection registered members. You can register as a free member, which will give you access to those reserved services. However you will not be able to place sale, trade, wanted ads or personal lists.
In order to place ads, you will need to be a register member and subscribe to a paying plan (see below for the paying plan options).
Furthermore, as a member, you will be informed first about the newest features implemented on the website.
The different paying plan subcriptions

Placing sale, trade or wanted ads is subject to a paying plan subscription.
To answer your needs, we provide you with three paying plan subscriptions:
- The basic plan for 5 euros, which allows you to place 10 ads (except in the personal lists) for 1 year.
- The 6 month plan for 15 euros, which allows you to place unlimited number of ads for 6 months.
- The 1 year plan for 25 euros, which allows you to place unlimited number of ads for 1 year.

To subscribe to one of our paying plan, you simply need to fill out the registration form (accessible from "My page" or from the placing ads summary page).
You might pay your fees either online with your credit card (in this case your subscription will be effective immediately) or per bank transfer (in this case your subscription will be effective as soon as your payment will be received).
Once your subscription is paid, you will be able to place ads on the website. There will be no further fees.
