  I changed my username under the Account Details of my blog from bucknutty.wordpress.com to shaunscop.wordpress.com. I deleted the previous domain for the new one accidentally, and I would like to map the old domain name to my new one. So how do I buy bucknutty.wordpress.com from you. As of now, it stills says the domain is being used when trying to create a new blog through wordpress, as well as when i try to buy a domain through your service.
  Blog url: http://shaunscop.wordpress.com/

  I’m sorry, but deleted blogs cannot be restored or reused. Deleting a blog is permanent and the name cannot be used again. There are several warnings about this. http://support.wordpress.com/settings/delete-blog/

  With any blog, you can also use your custom domain with Domain Mapping upgrade. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/

  Sorry for the inconvenience.
