Can someone explain to me the point of Cull?

I literally never ADC, so I didn't realize until recently exactly the wording of the Cull item, and its a little confusing. I always understood it to be an item you buy, kill a bunch of minions, then get burst of gold, but reading it for myself it doesn't make sense. The item costs 450g, and gives 1 extra gold per minion kill, then 350 bonus gold after 100cs soooo at the end of it you just get 450gold, the initial cost of the item. What am I missing, this item makes no sense.

The item provides:

100 Gold from last-hitting minions
350 Gold when it completes
180 Gold for selling the item

It provides useful stats for the laning phase (AD + on-hit heal) and it can be sold for a profit afterwards (giving you a boost towards your next item).

That's still 450 gold more than you get from a Dorans Sword.

If you have a matchup where you are not likely to kill the other laner and focuss on minions It lets you finish your first big item faster.

It's good for a lane where you're behind since the sustain helps you stay alive better and you don't lose anything. Also, when you sell the item, you make a 180 gold profit.

if you have a easy lane, build cull early means you will have a huge spike of gold once you finish it, and you will stay very healthy in an already favourable lane.

You get the stats from it and a profit of 180 gold when it's complete if you choose to sell.

get cull in the core of the game after you get good items like item 3006 and item 3085 item 3046 {{item:3087} so you get a good boost cs gold farming and xtra profit when you sells the cull
