Sizing up a new trail bike

Hi all,
Just joined the forum as I am trying to decide on what size the trail bike to buy.
I will be doing all sorts of riding and am a fairly competent rider.
My vital stats are 5 foot 7 with a 29 inch inside leg.... a shortarse....
I am wanting to buy a secondhand bike so feel disengenuous going to a bike shop to try out sizes.
The sort of bike I am after is a well spec'd stump jumper fsr for about £1k and think that a small would be best but there are literally none for sale.
Could I get away with a medium or shall I wait until summers over and load of bikes get put on sale?
Thanks!
