-  The correct sequence is E D G A F C B

Rearranged Paragraph:
E. The going rate for a thought-a probe into the thinking of another-was once quite a bargain.
D. Today, more than four centuries since the phrase, A penny for your thoughts? was first recorded,
C. Such fantastical questions have long been the bread and butter of fiction.
B. In most fictional movies thus, the idea of reading minds-of seeing the private intentions of another, and the possibility of intervening in those plans-has always been highly attractive.
A. But seriously, how much would you pay to know what thoughts are swimming around in someone elses head?
F. And if you could really know their truthfulness how much more would you pay?
G. Even with the sliding value of the dollar, this still seems quite a bargain.

Explanation:
The rearranged paragraph starts with sentence E, as it sets the context of the conversation by discussing the 'going rate' for a thought. Sentence D follows sentence E, providing a temporal reference. Sentence C builds on the context by discussing how such questions have been the 'bread and butter' of fiction. Sentence B adds to this by explaining how the idea of reading minds has been attractive in fictional movies. Sentence A then introduces the main point of the paragraph by asking how much one would pay to know another's thoughts. Finally, Sentences F and G provide further context by discussing the truthfulness of thoughts and the sliding value of the dollar.
