Not for internships but for my first full time job I did, but only because I was fortunate to be managing multiple offers at once. The first was higher than I was expecting so I didn't negotiate, the second was was much lower and I wasn't as interested so I didn't negotiate, and then the third I was most interested in so I negotiated to match the first offer. The third company didn't quite match the first but they did go half way so I accepted. Don't think this is too typical, mostly because the timing of offers rarely lines up.
