Erm what are you talking about? The item gives 2 times the attack speed of a Dagger which would cover the 900 out of 1100 gold price of the item. The remaining 200 gold is covered by having the effect that basically gives your AA only 10 more damage.

For comparison Long Sword gives 10 AD and costs 360 gold. Granted Long Sword also works for spells with AD ratios but Recurve Bow is still a pretty good bang for the buck for auto attack focused champions.

Also collecting 450 + 450 + 200 gold is much better than waiting to sit on 900 gold you usually did for Recurve Bow.
