You might get a shock at the price - last time I was ringing around for injection moulding prices (which was quite some time ago) the price per part was cheap, but to get the mould made was in the region of $40k.
Are you sure you need injection moulding? Rotary moulding is cheaper to set up for, or you may find fabrication much more economical for a small run. There's also casting as an option for short runs, but it will depend on what you are trying to make.

Gaza, injection moulding ( if it's relatively simple) becomes cost effective at about 5000 units, as MS said, the unit price is inexpensive, it's the patterns , molds and set up that are going to cost you,
if this is not what you want there may be some alternatives,
more info would help.
what if the hokey pokey is really what it's all about?
