Lulu is full of Help and pages that explain it all. Those in the forums who try to help people usually know the answers because they have read the site and tried to learn it, or when asked a question, we even take the trouble to try and find the answer on Lulu, in the same manner that the person asking the question could have done themselves in the first place.
Where some of the newbies get what they think from about how Lulu works and what it costs, and about ISBNs, is beyond me.
What I can suggest is, why not try it? Stick some files through a Wizard for start (do it on Private) and at the end it will tell you exactly what the costs will be (but only when a book is ordered, until that point it costs nothing.)
If you want to try a free Lulu ISBN, then try it. What is there to loose in not doing so? The copyright remains yours and Lulu do not demand exclusivity, just not to use their ISBN if you publish eslewhere.
You can create the same book as multiple Projects. One set at Private with no ISBN and one set at General with a Lulu ISBN, that way you get it both ways. You can promote either one anyway you wish and you can buy each one yourself and sell it anyway you wish, too.
Just give it a try. It all becomes clear once you do.
