Actually I sometimes answer recruiters from companies that I am not interested at working from, just to tell upfront how much I am getting paid and how much I would need to be convinced to change, just in the hope that the next guy they call and that actually needs this job will have a better initial offer. Incidentally, that's why I don't like those "transparency" initiatives too much. Most people willing to share their salaries on twitter probably are on the lower side of the pay scale, thus biasing the results down.
