Best offer negotiations you ever had

Just for fun, but what are some of the best negotiations you ever had in professional world? Might be increase in base, RSUs, Sign Ons, etc etc etc. Let me start with myself: asked for x amount got 1.5x as TC

Recruiter said x amount is the max they can do as TC. I said I had competing offer (did not have any). Got 25% more the next day.

Really? This is weird that there is no way for employers to verify but if employers have the budget for an open position they should not be stingy and offer less money at first and wait for negotiation.
