I know I lost out on one job offer because they asked me how much I expected to be offered. I told them "Graduates from my year with my degree are currently earning $N. Students graduating this year are being offered between $Y-$Z, according to the careers office at my university. I would be happy with an offer anywhere between $Y-$N." I wasn't made an offer, and I was unofficially told by a friend who works there that I had bid out too high. But I know for a fact that other (male) freshouts had been offered salaries well within the range I had asked for.
