I am sorry if this question has been asked before. I checked, but I did not see it.
On page 553 of the Pathfinder Core Book it talks about wand creation. According to the text under creating wands, it costs 375 gp x spell level x caster level. Yet, I have seen others on this forum quoting 750 x spell level x caster level.
Which is correct?

The cost to craft a wand is 375 gp x spell level x caster level, which is half of the cost to purchase a wand from someone that crafted it (or 750 gp x spell level x caster level).
Hope that helps.

I believe you mean 375 gold to buy or 187.5 to create.

I do, my mistake! I was going off the caster level the OP gave, which is the level at which you can get Craft Wand. But of course you can craft the wand itself at CL 1st, giving a cost of 750 * 1/2 * 1 = 375 to buy, and half of that to make, which is indeed 187.5.
Thanks for the clarification!
