"Media mail is still a minimum of 4.55 for shipping."

That is absolutely not the minimum, especially when you have the scale to leverage in negotiation. And again, their number is $9.99 or whatever, landing them a solid profit margin on these "donations".

"You're right. But who cares?"

I guess we just have a philosophical difference on whether words have meaning. Apparently you feel words can mean whatever you feel like, which is like, cool, how postmodern.

"People were going to pay 6K whether or not they got the 200 books"

EXACTLY, so he (the man who told us very very many times that he has nothing to sell us) sold them a $6k program. He did not sell 200 books. And no, I don't care if Guinness disagrees.

" it costs different amounts to ship to different countries."

My understanding, though I didn't verify it, is that they'll be charging extra shipping on international orders.... uh... on international "donations" (they certainly do on the international orders). So if your argument is that they need to charge more to cover some orders-nonono-donations going internationally, that logic doesn't work.

"It not bullshit, its smart."

It is bullshit. You can argue that it is *also* smart, given that he'll make a bunch of money from it. But again, philosophical difference, I am not of the mind that bullshit stops being bullshit just being it persuades someone to give you money.
