CHICAGO — If yesterday's warm weather is any indication, summer is just around the corner. Don't feel like waiting in Big Star's famously long line during warmer months? You won't have to — if you've got $1,500 to spare.

One Craigslist user says he or she is selling a spot in line at the famous taco restaurant and bar, 1531 N. Damen Ave., for $1,500.

"It's 81 degrees and you need to eat tacos outside," the user wrote. "I put my name on the list on Tuesday. I'm selling you my spot in line."

We'd venture a guess the walk-up window goes for a much more reasonable rate.
