If what is being offered for sale are real unused factory discs still sealed up by EA, and that's what actually arrives after purchase, then the purchaser is probably fine. The problem is that we don't know what will really arrive when purchasing game discs that way. Many players have gotten burned with fake discs, bad registration codes, boxes opened and the codes already resold, etc. and then have had a lot of trouble getting their money back as what arrived was useless for them during which time they could have been playing the game. Or what arrives isn't really the Limited Edition after all. "It didn't happen to me," sorry, is not really enough on which to base a helpful recommendation.
I wouldn't recommend purchasing games with fussy DRM requirements this way unless one truly does like to gamble. But that doesn't mean it's impossible for such a purchase to have a happy ending.
I would suggest contacting EA Customer Support, though. Perhaps they still have a way to unlock the Limited Edition by way of Origin from their end.
