I'm considering selling my Leica, M-6 camera on Ebay and was wondering if Ebay is a safe, reliable place to sell expensive gear like this?

I keeping coming up with good reasons why I should by a Leica m8 rangefinder camera.

I am fairly competent with a dslr.

Q1: Is a rangefinder camera worth the trouble? compared to dslr?

Q2: Should I wait for other companies (Zeiss etc) to release the digital versions of their rangefinder camera, rather than paying the Leica tax?

I've been drooling over the Leica Digilux 2 but it seems to be very expensive for what you get. I'm particularly keen though, on the manual shutter speed selector knob and the focusing ring... are there any other digital cameras (SLR or compact) out there that I could use in a similar way (the set the speed, set the focus then turn it on then take the shot kind of way).

I own a digital point-and-shoot camera, and was looking to upgrade to a "nicer" camera for some more ambitious photography. But I was wondering if it makes sense to spend a lot on a digital camera, as it seemingly will be a bit archaic, if not outright obsolete, in a few years. E.g., old Leicas or even manual Nikons still fetch fair amounts on Ebay, while digital cameras a few years old sell for a fraction of their original value. I know digital cameras are supposed to making analog obsolete, but I'm just wondering about the obsolescence factor of digital. In other words, should I buy the new digital Leica or a vintage analog Leica? Any thoughts?
