Not sure about CDs, I was comparing the price for DVDs lately.
I'd think the price is around 3.50 for a small number of DVDs when burned. As other people said, the Master DVD (aka Mother DVD) that is required to produce real DVDs will cost about 350$, depending on the company. Producing 2000 pieces is good, the price will be around 1 dollar, printed with inlay, cover and case. There are also diffrent color models for the DVD printing, one color, two colors and 4 colors. 1 color (black on silver) should be enouh IMHO and makes the whole thing a lot cheaper.
So before you order 250 pieces of burned CDs, with some spray-fixed printings for 1200$, think about to double the money you spend to get 8 times the number of CDs, in real pro quality (note burned CDs will also be unreadable much earlier)
