This error is raised by Timezone.get if the identifier passed in does
not match the following regular expression:
^[A-z0-9\+\-_]+(\/[A-z0-9\+\-_]+)*$
In the code you've posted above you have 'America/New_York' as the
identifier, which does match the expression. The above controller code
works fine.
Does line 28 of your buy_controller.rb use the hardcoded string
'America/New_York' or something else?
You also need to change your view to remove the space between @ and
local (although, this isn't causing the above error):
<td><[EMAIL PROTECTED] %></td>
