I believe this was supplied by an autograph seller as a 'proof'.

Wow.
Probably stopped at his door front. Sucks for him: BUT at the same time..... NOT BAD for 20 years of retirement! still getting the attention!
If I were to get his autograph I'd be sure it was personalized so there'd BE NO CHANCE OF SELLING it :)
He deserves better; But I guess it's making someone else happy

It's an assumption that this is outside JD's house, on his door step.
What it does seem to show is that he appears to be quite approachable and willing to sign autographs which maybe at odds with the common held belief (by some) that he has turned into some kind of raving nutter locked behind his door afraid to come face to face with anyone in the outside world.

Yeah. My impression is that he withdrew from the MUSIC world/scene. Not society altogether, as some people make it out to be.
I'm sure he knows that fans still hold him in high esteem, and as such he's still willing to sign stuff and greet people if they recognise him. But other than this he's most likely just living a normal laid-back life :)

Well, it's somewhere where they were expecting to find him, as they had their vinyls ready.

Well, if that`s the case, then I think that`s a sad move to sell it a few days after he get it signed.

I believe that was the only intention. This image originates from an Ebay auction. Unfortunately I don't have a link to it.

Maybe someone should tell RT & BM where he lives?
Or is there severe dislike between them?

I really don't think that's what it is. Then again, I don't know him so no idea, but as far as the evidence tells us, he'd grown disinterested before Freddie's death and had no problem in participating in some projects after that happened anyway. So I don't think that was that strong a factor.
He even appeared as 'Queen' (with Roger) in the early 90's and then with Maylor a couple of times after 'Made in Heaven'.
So it's simply a matter of personal choice. Some people (like Brian and Roger) are delighted at the thought of being rock stars in their sixties. John clearly wasn't. That's all. No extended psychological analysis necessary, nothing to do with still mourning someone who died nearly a quarter of a century ago, nothing to do with allegedly being a sociopath or a recluse hermit with severe Hikikomori syndrome, just someone who chose to gradually withdraw from the public eye.
