Related: About this forumEstate of the late Baron de Bicske Dobronyi selling Queen Elizabeth's panties on eBay for $3,999
As TMZ previously reported ... the royal panties come from the estate of the late "Baron" Joseph de Bicske Dobronyi ... who wanted to auction them off after he died with the help of a British auction house, Hansons Auctioneers. But it didn't go as planned ...
A rep for the late Baron's estate tells TMZ ... the auction house was difficult to work with. He claims the auction house never gave the item enough publicity and were more concerned with the approval of the royal family than selling the goods.
We're told the estate was tired of waiting around for Hansons to find them a worthy bid ... so they demanded the underwear back and put them up for sale on eBay for a limited 10-day auction instead.
Now you can have a piece of the royal family for the low, low starting price of ... $3,999.

How the hell did the guy get 'em? Ahhhhh, found the answer!!!
The pair of panties came in to the possession of a famous Miami playboy named "Baron" Joseph de Bicske Dobronyi -- or Sepy, as he was known. As the story goes, Sepy got them from a friend after they were left on a private plane when the Queen visited Chile in 1968.
