Recruiters on LinkedIn message me all the time. I come back with, "unless your client is looking to pay {double my current annual income is} + {25% bonus} I'm really not able to make that kind of transition in my life" (I would act as if that was my base)

Didn't work a few times, which I was fine with as I didn't want to jump ship. I really just wanted to get off their list. Then, a few contacted me again a month later saying how they found me the perfect fit.

Boy oh boy did they ever.

I like this approach. A Smart Bear wrote about it on his blog once: http://blog.asmartbear.com/how-to-say-yes.html
