Can a wizard use a wand bought with 2 Prestige points as Bonded Item?

The player in question is applying his first scenario's credit earned by a pregen to a new wizard. He wants to know: Can he use 2 prestige to pick up a lvl 1 wand to use as his bonded wand to take to the character's next scenario?

In other words, can the terminology in the rulebook

"A wizard can add additional magic abilities to his bonded object as if he has the required item creation feats and if he meets the level prerequisites of the feat... If the bonded object is a wand, it loses its wand abilities when its last charge is consumed, but it is not destroyed and it retains all of its bonded object properties and can be used to craft a new wand."

apply to a wand bought with prestige awards?

It looks as if he can without question if he pays 200 to 'switch' bonded objects - does he need to pay that 200?

Yes he can, provided he pays for the cost to switch. Also note that once the charges are used up his wand is not destroyed like normal wands but remains useless except for the bonded item properties.

Well he'll be excited, thanks :)
