Shotting a docu in minidv will allow me to transfer the final product on film? if not how much do I cut myself short on sales? thanks
Mini DV can be transfered to film. Sometimes it looks really good.

I heard it's expensive. Isn't it like $200-$300 for a minute or something? I could be wrong, but that's what I seem to remember. Good luck on the doc.

With a documentary, the only sales you cut yourself short on by not printing to film are going to be theatrical. And if your doc is not a feature, then I'd say the cost of printing to film would never be worth it. Docs are generally expected to be shot and finished on video these days, unless it's a high-profile project with good theatrical sales potential.
It's super-expensive to print from video to film. I'm not totally up on the specs of it, but you'll want to have a detailed conversation with the lab that's going to do the blow-up about what THEY need you to provide for optimal image quality; i.e., shooting on 24p, shooting progressive scan vs interlaced, shooting PAL vs NTSC, etc.
