so we didn't set up for trick-or-treaters this year because the last few years we haven't gotten many, and most of the night we're out of the house anyway -- but this year, just after we got home from trick-or-treating with Sylvia (it was fun; she got quite a haul), some older kids knocked. @alexr answered and said he was sorry but we didn't have candy, and they were like "we take money, too!"
