This was the first thing i ever sold on eBay, and looking back on it, i probably shouldn't have sold it for this little, did i get taken as bad as i think, is it actually alright, or did i somehow make a good profit on it?

Well considering you didn't have picture, it's a little low. I'd say it wasn't too bad, though.

you got $60 shipped for a nes+ 19 games. the only games that are worth more than a buck or two on that lot are megaman 2 and contra, those are more like $7 games apiece. The system is worth like $25 if it doesnt have the blinking screen.figure a buck or 2 per game and that sounds about right.
well i wouldnt pay $60 for a system + those games, mostly bc i see it all for so much cheaper in the wild. but for ebay, sure that looks about right.

Depends. What was it worth to you? You could have always put down a reserved price and tried to get the money you were aiming for.

Id say that was cheap. I sold 5 nes's with mario/duck hunt and mario 3 a month ago, and they all ended over $50. I sold another system with 16 games and it ended at over $70 (all common games). Contra usually goes for over $10. You should have had at least 1 picture. You could have easily gotten $65 but probably more. Oh well, just remember to always add pictures, it really helps to increase sales.

You could've done a little better. Try to use lots of pictures in an auction like that, and maybe sell (or buy) a few small items to boost your feedback up. I know I'm weary of spending $40+ on a 4 feedback user.
But it isn't the end of the world either and you didn't do terrible. Most of those games are kinda lame.
