I recently acquired a few pieces of furniture that I'm thinking about listing, however, furniture isn't my typical "thing" and I know absolutely nothing about it, except yes, that's a chair, table, desk, etc!!! Can someone help me out with identifying the following five pieces? I've included the photos in a test auction (trying out some new software).

I admit to expertise in nothing! But I will give you a few pointers.
Your desk is a spinet. The rocking chair is known as a press (or pressed) back rocker.
The wood on the 3 piece set looks like it might be hickory (that's a selling point if it is). I would describe the set as rustic.
I don't know much about the table and chair - you might try searching under Victorian and/or parlor.

Thanks so much! That gives me a place to start some research, and a lot more information than I knew before I posted!

Nice looking pieces, You may want to have someone in your area look at them for value, Hard to tell in the photos. Also suggest reworking your photos the dark floor is washing out a lot of the detail of the items. Suggest putting them on a light colored rug or a sheet.
