How high could this get?

Seems like a very low reserve of $30,000.

Is $30,000 the new floor for less desired country dotcoms?

It may just be a starting point to get bidders going. Yemen.com is somewhat a worthwhile name because that is as far as a visitor would drill down to. I know of no cities off the top of my head nor would I want to vacation there. It would be hard to monetize Yemen.com but for those that want to buy an online country in a rough part of the world $30k may be about right.

Thank you.

Since it is so rare for a country domain to be auctioned I guess this would be a good example of the lowest reserve one could have.

I couldn't imagine any other undeveloped country domain that would be less valuable in the aftermarket but I may be wrong.

Yes would agree with david on that
Yemen is one of those places that from wests point of view. its a no go area.
but if your from the middle east its a safe country.

always work out the demographics of people and history when buying a geo.com name.
sample  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yemen  and also check out a few other facts,
at $30.000 its a steal.

now here is something for you. One major places in yemen is al mahwit and guess what almahwit.com is available
with population of 494,557  long term for reg fee its worth the cost.
and here is another Amanatalasimah.com Amanat Al Asimah    population 1,747,834
all you need to do is look and you will find them.

 I dont know if your into Internation Domains but you could also go ahead and grab Al Mahwit in arabic
 المحويت.com   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Mahwit

 I checked to see if Yemen was available in Arabic but .com and .net are both taken
