Yeah, 2.3 is base (proving I have two years or more of experience - anywhere, not just in Korea), 100K for TEFL, 100K for rural setting, now 2.5. I work in three seperate schools (two in my town, one 15 minutes away but they provide transportation) and that gives an extra 150K, so my base is 2.65.
EPIK is English Program In Korea. Their contracts are fairly standard, but once you get into the nitty gritty with the school you can cut a better deal if the people are reasonable. My contract says 20K an hour for extra teaching but my schools pay me 40K an hour. I'm working on getting summer and winter break off (though I imagine there might be a winter camp...I'm still hoping to get that off)

Most of them use recruiters only because their teaching staff doesn't speak English well. You can do the word-of-mouth thing and get around the recruiters and negotiate directly with some schools.
And, if anyone wants to come, I'd recommend my recruiter as Stu did his. They shot straight with me, the school was everything they promised and the people are wonderful. I feel lucky to have gotten this particular gig. I'm in a really small town but close to two metropolitan areas.
