Interview Question

A lot of times, when companies are interviewing you and if the interview went well, one of the very last questions they ask is whether you have any other offers on the table or not. I never know how to answer this question. If I say I don't have any other offers, I may sound like a loser who nobody else wants to hire and therefore if they do decide to hire me, they don't really have to offer a competitive salary. On the other hand, if I do answer that yeah, I do have other offers, they might think that I may be more interested in the other offer or maybe I will ask for a higher salary since I am apparently in demand. Any suggestions how I should handle these questions?
