Do this only if:
1. If you really have a better offer elsewhere
2. You have unique skill set/experience they have difficulty recruiting
It all boils down to how desperate they / you are.
For those positions with low entry barriers, we wished the prospective employees all the best in their other offers when they told they had better offers elsewhere. We have fixed pay structures for the various job scopes, and thus not going to offer above the established pay. So prospective employees trying their luck with us will not get offered.

Moral of the story - if someone tries to undercut your salary, turn the tables on them.
