-This baiting of bidders with a low opening bid is damned cruel!

Yes it is baiting. 
It is getting people who are interested in the cel in the 
auction where the seller can contact them.

I don't see why it is cruel if the bidders only bid what 
they want to. If the seller decides 'Ok, I can take a loss 
and sell to this person even though the reserve wasn't met', 
then all the better for the bidder, as they may get a cel for
cheaper.

If not, well the bidder (hopefully) realises the seller 
may have to suffer alot of financial loss if they sold
below the reserve. 

Try to see both sides of the story.
