They nerfed the item HARD.
 * Item cost increased to 800 from 700.
 * Combine cost increased to 400 from 350.
 * Critical strike chance reduced to 10% from 12%.
 * Passive – Avarice: bonus gold per 10 seconds reduced to 2 from 5.

Greed is fun, though. They should increase the gold gained. That -2% crit chance hurts too.
