So whether company thinks it is unethical or not, I would not be comfortable about pitting offers against each other for employment. Also even in the scenarios you mentioned, there is a chance by trying to make two parties compete, you may lose offer from both !! | |

That's the norm in pretty much every other substantial transaction I can envision (car, home buying -- even garage sales). If a company tells you it's unethical, it's them wanting to trick you into not negotiating, IMO. | |
