Need advice on selling my beloved Smiths/Morrissey 7" collection

The only thing in this world that I have of value is my Morrissey/Smiths 7 inch collection (which I've slowly been working on for about 12 years now). Being a middle-aged struggling student, husband, and college student has forced me to suck it up and sell this collection so that I can pay the rent this August. I'm probably going to sell it on ebay, broken up into 2 lots. 1 lot will contain the 28 Moz 7 inches that I have and other lot will contain the 16 Smiths 7 inches that I have. All of these records are the originals, none are reissues (except for one Moz 7 inch), and they are all in excellent condition. I figured I'd ask you ladies and gents:

1. Do you think it makes sense to break these up into 2 lots or should I try to sell them in one large 44 record lot?
2. What should my starting bid be on each lot?
3. Any other relative advice would be awesome as well.

I have no idea of the monetary value of these (other than that they are priceless to me) so I want to make sure that I get a decent amount of $$$ for them.

Thanks to anyone who takes the time to reply! :)

Here is the list of what I have:

1. First of the Gang to Die
2. Certain People I know
3. Let Me Kiss You

Hi,
depending on the price you offer for "Panic" and the 45rpm "Sandie Shaw", i could buy them.
Best,
Ian
