The difference between used, classic, vintage?

Hello....

Sorry if this has been asked a million times.... I'm new to this forum ... New to bike riding too.... haven't ridden in over 15 years! I'm looking for a used bike. Or a classic bike, or MAYBE even a vintage bike... Basically, I'm looking for a CHEAP bike until I get my cycling legs back, then I may be willing to plop down more $$ for a new bike.... unless I fall in love with a vintage bike....

Spent the last couple days browsing through Ebay and Craig's List.... Wow.... if it's a "vintage" bike, it costs much more $$ than a plain old used bike.... so how does a new girl to the bike game know the difference between used, classic and vintage?

Cheers,

--- A
