I was a mac dealer for about 3 and a half years. I went broke (just like the guy before me and the guy before him and...). I admire what you are doing and wish I could have done the same thing. I looked at suing them, but it was going to cost me money I did not have. The way I was recruited and the product issues are exactly the way it happened to me as well. Another thing you may want to mention is the AES (Automotive Equipment Specialists). This was a program that was to help increase sales of scopes and other expensive tools that the competitors were already doing. This was a key reason why I got in. I specifically asked about equipment sales and I was told this new program was going to make Mac competitive with other companies. As with all the other promises you mention on your site, this too fell through. The competition kept on selling equipment in my territory. There was a long period where I could not get sockets and wrenches to remain even partially competitive. All the big sales and little sales were being "snapped" up by the company who could supply. Eventually the cycle caught up with me and I had to throw in the towel on the dream of independence. After sucking up the loss and paying off my debts, I was left in bad financial shape. At my age (53) starting over financially has not been easy. I wish I knew then what I know now.
