Asking the salary question of a prospect is un-necessary, and doing it to find opportunities to low ball someone, it's game-playing - it's wrong. The company should know about how much that person is worth. Low balling really isn't necessary to live up to your management responsbilities on the company side of it.
On the employee side, best to get out of the question as quick as possible. One thing to say is, I have offers higher than that already. They can find out your current salary, but the other offers, doesn't have to be disclosed.
