Evidence of competing offers

Do recruiters ask for evidence of competing offers? I have a verbal offer for a job (recruiter expects me to negotiate). I don't want to negotiate , get a higher offer make them draft an offer letter and then turn it down (planning to since they offered a different location) I am afraid it would spoil the relationship with the recruiter (who I know personally) I am afraid that I won't be able to use a verbal offer while negotiating with other companies. Current TC:95k New TC offer :130K Location: Orlando, FL. YOE: ~ 5

Orlando FL 130k offer? Bruh. Orlando, FL. That's a benefit.

I was pleasantly surprised as well. That's why I want to use this offer to negotiate with other companies in larger metro areas. Can I do that without an official offer letter ?

130K? Damn the new hires in MS get more TC than that

Not a developer. 130k (110k base + 20k variable pay). No stocks involved. I'd imagine 130k will go a lot farther in Orlando than in Seattle.
