Not really.

I have come across some at less than half the price & thought I would get one & maybe sell it on...

I have a 16gb flash but dont even know if the above is any good for others or is being phased out because no one buys them...

Why not just get a cheaper one? You can get a 400-500GB portable 2.5" drive for that price.

Did you read the post above?

I can buy these for less than half that cost but don't know if they are any good to sell on for about £30ish..

Yes.

You can get 160GB cheaply anyway, not much of a bargain, and not a great deal of demand for them when you can get bigger drives for not much more. All depends on the price which you didn't specify. If you are selling them for a fiver, I'll have one, at £30 it's borderline, and depends if you have someone you can offload to.

Hard disks are better than flash drives for backup

I am thinking about a £20-£25 sell on price.
