A friend recently made the mistake of buying a Radeon 9550 from the local computer. Instead of getting the 6600GT i recommended off of newegg he went and paid $150 for the 9550... He's not sure if they will accept the return or not. Is there anything he can do to let him return it?

(He has alread opened the box and installed it)
 
He can go in there, talk to a manager, and say that a sales person talked him into buying a video card that wasnt compatible with his computer. Thats the only thing I can think of.
 
Where did he buy it?

Best Buy has an easy return policy - just say it didn't do what you needed it to do or something, and you are fine.

Most local 'mom-and-pop' shops have an 'absolutely no returns EVER' policy, which means you will basically have to make a huge scene and get down on your knees and beg, and then MAYBE (depending on the owners) they might let you return it. Maybe. But he's probably screwed. Make sure you take this opportunity to rub his face in the fact that it was only not listening to you that got him screwed, and maybe next time he'll pay attention.
 
He told me that they recommended him this card for playing games...

What if he complains that it wont play his games? I think that would be fair since he was under the impression it would be a good gaming card.

I have a feeling he is screwed. But if it were me I'd go in there and make a scene for tricking me into buying such a POS.

Yeah, but make sure he cites specific exampls of a game he wants to play that the video card wont run. This will add validity and make it seem more like the salesman talked him into something bad.
 
There ya go:D Say it wouldnt run BF2 even though he specifically said that thats what he wanted to run. Also have him say that he thinks the salesman tricked him just to get a quick sale. I worked at sears in the electronics department as a salesman for a year:p

I've gotten around that myself, but if they pull that, take a replacement, then come back the next day with an unopened box and a reciept :p
