Should you ask if anyone's looked at a property/put in an offer?

Hey guys,

I'd really like your opinion on this. I was formulating my own questionnaire of questions to ask FSBO sellers, and an idea popped in my head that I'm not sure if it's something you do or not. When talking to FSBO sellers, should you ask if anyone else has looked at the property/put in an offer? What about with regular agent-listed listings? Basically, I would like to know how you can tell if there is competition for a property, whether it's agent-listed or owner-listed. This may or may not be a silly question.

Thanks!
