I would just do this, if you mean the original E-M10 (Mark I), or even the E-M5 (Mark 1). Both are a big upgrade over the little GF-2. It seems like maybe prices are a bit higher where you live, but typically these are under $300 around here used. You get a viewfinder, flip-screen, 16mp and image stabilization with either, how can you beat that?
