How could you guarantee that a male, any male is fertile?
I have no idea. Hence the question that started this thread :P. Why don't breeders do that? The answer is because whether it's a desert or not, male or female, you can't guarantee that the animal in question is fertile or that it will even breed in the first place.
The problem that I was thinking about on my way to work was that breeders are selling deserts and telling people that buy the snake from them that they WILL produce viable eggs! This bothers me, and I can't seem to come up with any real solutions to this problem... Jinx brought up a good point in saying that the seller should research the animal they're about to buy, but on the other side, the seller shouldn't lie or withhold any information regarding the animal. Ultimately, it's upto an INFORMED customer to decide whether or not they want to take that risk.... I just wish the sellers would stop adding to the problem by guaranteeing that the morph is fertile, causing more and more mixed information!

Agreed on both accounts and it goes from everything from Spider wobble to kinking in Caramels etc, I think buyers should research the mutation they plan to acquire and I believe the seller should be honest as well when answering a potential customer concerns but like everything else it's not perfect.
